This removes the printk statement for irqs not defined by the hardware in
function q40_irq_startup and instead returns -ENXIO as stated by the fix
me message.

Returning -ENXIO from a function returning an unsigned int isn't really very helpful,
don't you think ?
With all those FIXMEs, you might want to keep in mind that there is typically a
good reason for it. If it was as easy as your proposed fix, you can assume
that the FIXME would not have been there in the first place.

Sorry Guenter,
That's fine. can I can change the return type of the function or is
that going to break things?

Please have a look at the context. q40_irq_startup is used to initialize
struct irq_chip.irq_startup, which expects an unsigned int as return value.
To make things more interesting, the caller (function irq_startup) assigns
the result to an int. However, _callers_ of irq_startup either ignore
the return value, or assume that an interrupt is pending if the return
value is not 0.
So all your change accomplishes is to tell the caller that an interrupt
would be pending. Changing the return value to int will only result
in a compile warning but otherwise not change anything.
Unless you put in the effort to really analyze the code, and that applies
to each FIXME you are trying to fix, I would suggest to leave it alone.
Otherwise we just end up worse than before.
