In commit
4bbdd45a (irq_domain/powerpc: eliminate irq_map; use
irq_alloc_desc() instead) code was added that ignores error returns
from irq_alloc_desc_from() by (silently) casting the return value to
unsigned. The negitive value error return now suddenly looks like a
valid irq number.
Commits
cc79ca69 (irq_domain: Move irq_domain code from powerpc to
kernel/irq) and
1bc04f2c (irq_domain: Add support for base irq and
hwirq in legacy mappings) move this code to its current location in
irqdomain.c
The result of all of this is a null pointer dereference OOPS if one of
the error cases is hit.
The fix: Don't cast away the negativeness of the return value and then
check for errors.
