it seems you mess pin with interrupt line.

current code:
        unsigned char irq;

        pci_read_config_byte(dev, PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN, &irq);
        dev->pin = irq;
        if (irq)
                pci_read_config_byte(dev, PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE, &irq);
        dev->irq = irq;

so if the device does not have interrupt pin implemented, pin should be zero.
and  pin and irq in dev should
be all 0.

Thanks
