The comments in previous quirk said it's required only in PIC mode.

I feel we concerned too much. Changing the interrupt line isn't harmful,
right? Linux actually ignored interrupt line. Maybe just a
PCI_FIXUP_ENABLE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, PCI_ANY_ID, quirk_via_irq) is
sufficient.
and
quirk_via_irq(..)
{
update_interrupt_line
}
