Guilty of voodoo defense. You're completely right—FEAT_MSI was already
vleared on fallback during probe, and checking the parent domain here was
misguided. Dropping that entirely. (I added the check here and then
updated the setup_msis() part).

I certainly won't complain about code being too comprehensible! :)
This is much cleaner than what I had.

I'll drop my implementation of patch 7 (platform_device_msi_rewrite) 
completely in favor of your core msi_device_domain_restore_msi_msgs() 
helper, simplify patch 8 to this and take it for a spin.

Thanks,
