I think you forgot:
Fixes: a01e7214bef9 ("PCI: endpoint: Remove "core_init_notifier" flag")

Instead?

That way, we assign msi_capable/msix_capable just before the if-statement
where it is used. (Which matches how we already assign msix_capable just
before the if-statement in pci_epf_test_alloc_space().)


Kind regards,
