Of _course_ "irq0" is a valid irq. On PC's, it's usually the timer
interrupt.

It's the "dev->irq" _cookie_ zero that means it is does not have an irq.

If you have a physical "irq 0" that is bound to a device, it needs a
cookie, and that cookie can't be 0, because that means the device has no
interrupt.

How hard is that to understand? Why do people mix these up?
