Ok, pragmatically the only sane thing you can do is:
(1) Add an X-gene specific hook in drivers/acpi/scan.c (acpi_scan_init())
that carries out fwnode registration (ie register the fwnode by
searching the MSI HID object - this does not depend on ACPI device
nodes order - you enforce the order by parsing the namespace before
ACPI core does it, at that point in time ACPI objects are created).
Not sure Rafael will be happy to see this code but that's the only
solution that does not rely on ACPI device nodes ordering and kernel
link ordering. You may achieve the same by extending the ACPI APD
code (drivers/acpi/acpi_apd.c) whether that's the best way forward is
to be seen.
(2) You can also add an xgene specific scan handler at arch_init_call()
but given that PCI root bridge is managed through a scan handler too you
would rely on ACPI devices nodes ordering in the DSDT. Let me explain
something for the benefit of everyone reading this thread: I do not want
X-gene ACPI tables to force the kernel to scan devices in any order
whatsover because this would mean we will _never_ be able to change the
scan order if we wanted to lest we trigger regressions. So this is
a non-option in my opinion.
(3) Last option is to register the MSI fwnode either in PCI ECAM quirk
handling or in arm64 before probing the PCI root bus.
I am not keen on (2) and (3) at all, so _if_ we have to find a solution
to this problem (1) is the only option you have for the time being as
far as I am concerned.
