ouch - two wrongs did make a right!

It's not too easy to tell how many IMX6 boards incorrectly specify
their reset-gpio polarity. I don't know what the best way to determine
what boards use the IMX6 pcie host controller. Is there a dtc usage
that will display the compiled dtb's then we grep out 'compatible =
"fsl,imx6q-pcie"' to at least get the list of boards to inspect? I'm
curious if its just one or two boards that incorrectly specify the
polarity of their PCI reset.

I figured out it was the change to enable CONFIG_PCI_MSI in v4.5 that
is causing interrupts to fail for me.

Lucas, the case that is failing for me is when I have 4 miniPCI radios
behind a PCIe->PCI bridge. In this case the radios get legacy
INTA/B/C/D mapped to them correctly from what I can tell (GIC
123/122/121/120 swizzled appropriately), but those interrupts never
fire. I don't think this case is necessarily a regression, I'm not
clear that it has ever worked. In fact I can't seem to come up with a
scenario where the MSI irq is firing either: IMX6->ath9k radio (no
bridge) with MSI doesn't fire the PCI-MSI interrupt or the GPC 123
interrupt that gets mapped to it via the driver. Any ideas what can be
going on here?
