Sorry. I am not familiar with this part. But I encountered errors when
I compiled. I think there may be some problems about dependency.

In this Kconfig file

config ARM_GIC_V3_ITS
        bool
        select PCI_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN

config HISILICON_IRQ_MBIGEN
  	bool
 	select ARM_GIC_V3
	select ARM_GIC_V3_ITS
  	select GENERIC_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN

In the file drivers/pci/Kconfig

config PCI_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN
        bool
        depends on PCI_MSI
        select GENERIC_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN

We can see if the HISILICON_IRQ_MBIGEN is selected, the ARM_GIC_V3_ITS and
PCI_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN will be selected. But PCI_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN depends on
PCI_MSI. If PCI_MSI is not selected, it will cause a compiling error like this
"drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3-its-pci-msi.c:52:12: error: implicit declaration of function 'pci_msi_vec_count' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  msi = max(pci_msi_vec_count(pdev), 0);"

I found many other options which need ARM_GIC_V3_ITS or PCI_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN
were configured like below:
select ARM_GIC_V3_ITS if PCI_MSI
or
select GENERIC_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN if PCI_MSI
