[RFT] USB: Try MSI first before line IRQ for Intel PCIe USB3 HCD

From: Sarah Sharp
Date: Mon Feb 13 2012 - 19:26:12 EST


We have a PCI USB xhci host controller on a new platform. It doesn't
have a line IRQ definition in BIOS. The Linux driver refuses to
initial this controller, but Windows works well because it only depends
on MSI.

Actually, Linux also can work for MSI. This patch skips the first line
IRQ checking for our HCD in usb-core pci probe, then try to enable MSI
firstly. That make this HCD works well under Linux.

This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.32.

Hi Alex,

Please test this on your Panther Point system that doesn't have a BIOS
provided IRQ line. I think this is a much simpler solution.
