Thanks for persisting with this.

yes, that looks suspicious.

This one, I'd expect.

You could try a `patch -R' of the below.

commit 75cf7456dd87335f574dcd53c4ae616a2ad71a11

    [PATCH] PCI quirk: VIA IRQ fixup should only run for VIA southbridges
    
    Alan Cox pointed out that the VIA 'IRQ fixup' was erroneously running
    on my system which has no VIA southbridge (but I do have a VIA IEEE
    1394 device).
    
    This should address that.  I also changed "Via IRQ" to "VIA IRQ"
    (initially I read Via as a capitalized via (by way/means of).

If you have trouble getting it to apply, just manually replace all the
DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_ENABLE lines at the end of quirk_via_irq() with the
single line

DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_ENABLE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, PCI_ANY_ID, quirk_via_irq);
