Re: [PATCH] PCI: mvebu: Use devm_request_irq() for registering interrupt handler

[Luís Mendes]

Sorry for the delay, but last week was a busy work week and I had to
struggle to package Linux kernel 6.14-rc5 because it fails to
cross-compile... it tries to use target compiler flags with the host
compiler. I ended up compiling the kernel in a mvebu armhf machine.
Also I noticed that some hash algos are failing.

All logs presented were obtained from a SolidRun A388 ClearFog Base,
if more detailed PCI logs are needed I have the other machine, the
Armada Duo that has 2 PCIe slots and handles an AMD RX 550 GPU. Just
let me know.

- Complete dmesg log, booted with "pci=nomsi"  is available here:
https://pastebin.com/wDj0NGFN
- Complete output of "sudo lspci -vv" is available here:
https://pastebin.com/f4yHRhLr
- Contents of /proc/interrupts is available here: https://pastebin.com/ejDUuhbJ
- Output of "grep -r . /proc/irq/" is available here:
https://pastebin.com/4jvFBBhy

Let me know if more information is needed.
