Definitely in this case. irq_create_of_mapping() and therefore
irq_of_parse_and_map() both return _zero_ when they fail, not whatever
happens to be NO_IRQ on a particular architecture. New code should
_never_ be making any use of NO_IRQ.
That's why I said:
"Modern drivers should _all_ be using !irq to detect invalid IRQs, and not
using NO_IRQ."
