It looks like since this commit I am getting warnings upon EPROBE_DEFER
errors in the mvpp2 Marvell Ethernet driver. I looked a bit at the
internals to understand why this warning was shown, and it seems that
nothing "de-references" the descriptors, which would mean here:
resetting desc->irq to 0.

In my case I don't think the mvpp2_main.c driver nor the
irq_mvebu_icu.c driver behind do anything strange (as far as I
understand them). I believe any error during a ->probe() leading
to an irq_dispose_mapping() call with MSI behind will trigger that
warning.

I am wondering how useful thisd WARN_ON() is, or otherwise where the
desc->irq entry should be zeroed (if I understand that correctly), any
help will be appreciated.
