    [PATCH] msi: sanely support hardware level msi disabling · f5f2b131
    Eric W. Biederman authored
    In some cases when we are not using msi we need a way to ensure that the
    hardware does not have an msi capability enabled.  Currently the code has been
    calling disable_msi_mode to try and achieve that.  However disable_msi_mode
    has several other side effects and is only available when msi support is
    compiled in so it isn't really appropriate.
    
    Instead this patch implements pci_msi_off which disables all msi and msix
    capabilities unconditionally with no additional side effects.
    
    pci_disable_device was redundantly clearing the bus master enable flag and
    clearing the msi enable bit.  A device that is not allowed to perform bus
    mastering operations cannot generate intx or msi interrupt messages as those
    are essentially a special case of dma, and require bus mastering.  So the call
    in pci_disable_device to disable msi capabilities was redundant.
    
    quirk_pcie_pxh also called disable_msi_mode and is updated to use pci_msi_off.
