It certainly doesn't follow the conventional way of clearing the interrupt
first. I carried this from the original MSI patch, but I'll move the
interrupt clearing up and retest.

Yes it should. I actually mention making that change in the changelog but
in fact didn't.

For one I find this easier to read. If this wasn't a separate structure, each
of the individual fields would get an msi_ prefix anyway so there isn't much
to be gained from keeping them directly in tegra_pcie_info.

Second, and more importantly, this will keep the size of struct
tegra_pcie_info smaller if PCI_MSI is not selected because there is just one
unused pointer instead of five unused fields.
