Hi Thomas,

Just noting related discussion :
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-serial/msg57616.html

The MSI controller on RISC-V (IMSIC) is optional for the platform. So,
when by default pci_msi_enable = 1 and the MSI controller is not
discovered, we get stack trace like below.

So, what I did was, by default call pci_no_msi() to disable MSI and then
call pci_set_msi() to enable when MSI controller is probed.

But I think Bjorn's suggestion to depend on PCI_BUS_FLAGS_NO_MSI may be
better idea. In that case, we need to set bridge->msi_domain to true in
pci_create_root_bus(). Let me know what do you prefer or if I am
completely missing something here.

Thanks,
Sunil
