[PATCH 0/2] Disable MSI/MSI-X interrupts manually at PCI probe time in PowerPC architecture

These 2 patches correct a bogus behaviour introduced by commit 1851617cd2
("PCI/MSI: Disable MSI at enumeration even if kernel doesn't support MSI").
The commit moved the logic responsible to disable MSI/MSI-X interrupts
at PCI probe time to a new function, named pci_msi_setup_pci_dev(), that
is not reachable in the code path of PowerPC pSeries platform.

Since then, devices aren't able to activate MSI/MSI-X capability, even
after boot. The first patch makes the function pci_msi_setup_pci_dev()
non-static. The second patch inserts a call to the function in powerpc
code, so it explicitly disables MSI/MSI-X interrupts at PCI probe time.

Guilherme G. Piccoli (2):
  PCI: Make pci_msi_setup_pci_dev() non-static for use by arch code
  powerpc/PCI: Disable MSI/MSI-X interrupts at PCI probe time in OF case
