This sentence is missing a word or something.  Maybe it's supposed to
say something like this:

  If there is no dependency between Link device and PCI Host Bridge,
  then PCI devices may be probed prior to Link devices.  If a PCI
  device is probed before its Link device, we won't be able to find
  its INTx mapping.

It looks like *this* patch only clears it after probe.  And the commit
log doesn't say why we need to clear the dependency.
