NO_IRQ is a relic from the old days. It is not used anymore in core
functions. By the way, function irq_of_parse_and_map() returns value 0
on error.
In some drivers, NO_IRQ is erroneously used to check the return of
irq_of_parse_and_map().
It is not a real bug today because the only architectures using the
drivers being fixed by this patch define NO_IRQ as 0, but there are
architectures which define NO_IRQ as -1. If one day those
architectures start using the non fixed drivers, there will be a
problem.
Long time ago Linus advocated for not using NO_IRQ, see
https://lkml.org/lkml/2005/11/21/221 . He re-iterated the same view
recently in https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/10/12/622
So test !irq instead of tesing irq == NO_IRQ.
And remove the fallback definition of NO_IRQ at the top of the file.

Applied to for-6.2. Thanks !
