I really don't think this brings much to the table. These systems are
not built by picking up random bits that can be put together by hand.
They are integrated in an SoC, and I can't imagine that the MSI
controller is picked randomly.
So my conclusion is that this is either *designed* to work, or it
doesn't exist, and that this code is just dead code.
Thanks,
M.
