Thanks Marc for the patch.

The XILINX_PCIE_REG_MSIBASE2 register expects 4KB aligned address.
The lower 12-bits are always set to 0 in this register. So we need to mask the address 
while programming address to EP.

#define XILINX_PCIE_MSI_ADDR_MASK       GENMASK(31, 12)
msg.address_lo = lower_32_bits(msg_addr) & XILINX_PCIE_MSI_ADDR_MASK;
