Thanks, good catch!

Have you confirmed that this controller is indeed relying on polling
completions during early init, or do you want to try a fix for kthread
polling? The test patch is appeneded below if you still need to confirm
it.

If the controller really doesn't work with legacy interrupts, would it
be possible to permanently set the PCI interrupt pin register to 0? You
shouldn't advertise the capability if it doesn't work, and the driver
would have used MSI-x if that was the case.

If we absolutely need to add a quirk, either polling or force using
MSI-x sound like possible solutions.
