I think this should be formatted as following:

Fixes: ed1d2143fee5 ("soc: fsl: dpio: add support for irq coalescing per software portal")

These threshold values can be 0, the pr_err comment tries to say that those are
the ranges, 0 and the maximum included.

These 'value < 0' checks should be removed all together. Somehow I missed that
those are unsigned values.

Anyhow, thanks a lot that you spotted this.

Could you please sent the v2 towards the net-next tree since that's the tree
that adds the fixed patch?

Thanks.
