What I was saying is to call acpi_bus_scan() on the MSI controller
handle (as start_object - see acpi_walk_namespace()).

I do not know if I am mistaken but all I see is still:

subsys_initcall(xgene_pcie_msi_init);

which is not guaranteed to be called before the PCI host bridge
is scanned. You have to have a way to _probe_ the MSI driver before
the PCI host bridge is scanned, which is different.

But if the MSI driver is still not registered the whole concept still
does not work. You are not guaranteed ordering between initcalls at
the same level.
