Regarding to your previous suggestion to add a hook walking the ACPI
namespace before acpi_bus_scan() in acpi_scan_init() to make MSI
controllers must be probed before PCI.
I have a concern that the MSI namespace â _SB.MSIXâ is not a unique
name and how can we walk the ACPI namespace and use this name to make
MSI probed before PCI.
May you have little bit more information for this or do you have
another suggestion for this?

Thereâs another solution which makes this simpler and Iâd like to
ask your opinion about this.
The solution is to make an hierarchy between MSI and PCI nodes as below:
Device(\_SB.MSIX) {
Device(\_SB.PCI0)
Device(\_SB.PCI1)
ââ
}
In other word, MSIX node is a parent node of PCI nodes in ACPI table.
In this sense, thereâs an explicit dependency between MSI and PCI,
MSI controller must be probed before PCI and it will guarantee not
breaking next kernel releases.
How do you think about this solution.

I also tried to use _DEP method to describe the dependency of PCIe
nodes, but it looks that it does not work as PCI and MSI are handed by
acpi_bus_scan and still having issue when we re-probe PCI.

Thanks,
Khuong Dinh
