NO_IRQ doesn't exist anywhere in core functions. Only some drivers and 
some architectures have relics of it.

irq_of_parse_and_map() will always return 0 on error.

0 can't be a valid logical IRQ number. It may only be a valid hwirq 
number but it will always be translated to a non-zero logical irq number.

I'm trying to get rid of NO_IRQ completely in powerpc code, therefore 
trying to clean-up all drivers used by powerpc architecture.

Long time ago Linus advocated for not using NO_IRQ, see 
https://lkml.org/lkml/2005/11/21/221
