I'm currently working on a port to a CPCI board with a MPC5200. When
testing the PCI interrupt routing, I discovered the following: Even devices
which don't use interrupts (-> PCI Spec.: Interrupt Pin Register is zero),
get an interrupt assigned (this is at least true for most of the
PPC-targets I looked at).
The cause is pretty obvious in drivers/pci/setup-irq.c. I guess at least
in an ideal world with correctly designed hardware, the code should rather
look as in the patch below.
Of course it doesn't hurt anybody to have an unuseable IRQ assigned to a
PCI-to-PCI-bridge (or something alike), but to me it seems a bit strange.
Please correct me, if I'm mislead.
The patch below is tested on the above mentioned CPCI-MPC5200 board and is
compiler tested with the latest git-repository kernel on x86.
