Hi Rob,

Thank you for the comments!

Will fix it.

OK.

OK.

OK.

This exists because the second instance of MIP MSI-X
interrupt-controller (mip1) has some limitations.

Snippet from donwstream dtsi:

brcm,msi-base-spi = <247>;
/* Actually 20 total, but the others are
* both sparse and non-consecutive
*/
brcm,msi-num-spis = <8>;
brcm,msi-offset = <8>;
brcm,msi-pci-addr = <0xff 0xffffe000>;

I don't know how to model this except private property.

This is a destination address for MSI mem writes from PCIe endpoint
devices, i.e. msi_msg.address filled when composing msi_msg
(irq_chip::irq_compose_msi_msg).
