Hi Ben,

The real bug fix, which is not properly explained here, is that
irq_of_parse_and_map() should return values > 0 when the interrupt is
valid, so this makes me wonder why we are not propagating the return
value from irq_of_parse_and_map() in case the call to
of_irq_parse_one() does return something non-zero?

Other than that, I agree with the resolution, but it deserves a better
commit message, and eventually doing this in two steps:

- first fix the bug by changing the if (!mdio->irq[addr]) into a if
(mdio->irq[addr] <= 0)
- second submit a patch which cleanups the assignment
