I don't think this case changed. get_port_device_capability() is in
portdrv.c, which is only built with CONFIG_PCIEPORTBUS=y:

  obj-$(CONFIG_PCIEPORTBUS)	+= pcieportdrv.o bwctrl.o

So with CONFIG_PCIEPORTBUS=n, the if-clause was never entered, before or
after this commit.

With CONFIG_PCIEPORTBUS=y, native_pcie_hotplug still starts out as 1,
so the clause still disables the hotplug interrupts when
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE=n.

Your patch was about setting native_pcie_hotplug from CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE. 
That would break the PCIEPORTBUS=y, HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE=n case, as you said. 
This commit uses CONFIG_PCIEPORTBUS instead.

Did you see a case where the interrupts stay enabled with this commit?
