Subject: [PATCH v4] serial: sc16is7xx: Fix IRQ number check behavior

The logical meaning of the previous version is wrong due to a typo.

If the IRQ equals 0, no interrupt pin is available and polling mode
shall be used.

Additionally, this fix adds a check for IRQ < 0 to increase robustness,
because documentation still says that negative IRQ values cannot be
absolutely ruled-out.

Fixes: 104c1b9dde9d859dd01bd2d ("serial: sc16is7xx: Add polling mode if no IRQ pin is available")

V2:
There are no changes to the patch itself. The previous patch submission
had a very weird structure within the discussion thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250116093203.460215-1-andre.werner@systec-electronic.com/
This is simply a new thread opened for better handling.
V3:
Add Fixes tag and update commit message description.
V4:
Rephrase commit message.
