No problem, I wasn't making forward progress anyway.

After looking at this myself, I'm not happy with this either.  It feels
like there are bugs lurking here and we're just hiding one of them.

Here are the callers of irq_domain_add_linear() for legacy INTx in
drivers/pci/host:

  advk_pcie_init_irq_domain    LEGACY_IRQ_NUM   (4)
  dra7xx_pcie_init_irq_domain  4
  ks_dw_pcie_host_init         MAX_LEGACY_IRQS  (4)
  altera_pcie_init_irq_domain  INTX_NUM + 1     (5)
  nwl_pcie_init_irq_domain     INTX_NUM + 1     (5)
  xilinx_pcie_init_irq_domain  4

I think all of these use the of_irq_parse_and_map_pci() path you
mentioned, so if the problem is in the way that path works, I would
think these should *all* be requesting the same number of interrupts
in the domain.

I agree with Marc that we should request 4 IRQs, because that's what
we need.  If we can't do that for some reason, we ought to at least
make all these callers the same.
