Looking at this more, this patch actually introduces a bug.

We pass pci_dev->irq from intel-lpss-pci.c and that comes directly from
PCI core that assigns it in pci_read_irq(). This value is unsigned int
for starters so it is not designed to contain an error code, secondly it
can be 0 meaning "no IRQ" either if is SRIOV device or the interrupt
line is not assigned. I actually think SRIOV is a possibility for future
LPSS devices so we should be dealing with this properly.
