It is not safe to assume that the functions that of_irq_parse_pci() calls
will never be modified to return -ENODEV, thus resulting in of_irq_parse_pci()
returning -ENODEV for a reason other than PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN == 0.

A more robust solution would be something like:


(1) Change of_irq_parse_pci() to _of_irq_parse_pci(), adding an argument and
use it to report the case of PCI_INTERRUPT_PIN == 0.

static int _of_irq_parse_pci(const struct pci_dev *pdev, struct of_phandle_args *out_irq, int *no_pin)
{

...
	*no_pin = 0;
...
	/* No pin, exit */
	if (pin == 0) {
		*no_pin = 1;
		return -ENODEV;
	}
...


int of_irq_parse_pci(const struct pci_dev *pdev, struct of_phandle_args *out_irq)
{
	int no_pin;
	return _of_irq_parse_pci(pdev, out_irq, &no_pin)
}


(2) Then the fix to of_irq_parse_and_map_pci() would be:

  +     int no_pin;
>  	ret = of_irq_parse_pci(dev, &oirq, &no_pin);
>  	if (ret) {
> -		dev_err(&dev->dev, "of_irq_parse_pci() failed with rc=%d\n", ret);
> +		if (!no_pin)

>  	}


I'm not sure I like my solution, there might be a better way.

I also noticed another bug while looking at of_irq_parse_pci().  It returns
the non-zero return value from pci_read_config_byte().  But that value is
one of the PCI function error values from include/linux/pci.h, such as:

   #define PCIBIOS_BAD_REGISTER_NUMBER     0x87

instead of a negative errno.
