Ok. Found my old notes.

AFAICT _all_ users of platform_device_msi_init_and_alloc_irqs():

        ufs_qcom_config_esi()
        smmu_pmu_setup_msi()
        flexrm_mbox_probe()
        arm_smmu_setup_msis()
        hidma_request_msi()
        mv_xor_v2_probe()

just install their special MSI write callback. I don't see any of those
setting up LEVEL triggered MSIs.

But then I'm might be missing something. If so can you point me please
to the usage instance which actually uses level signaled MSI?

Thanks,
