That's pretty common such as all the DWC implementations using the
built-in MSI controller (in that case 'msi-parent' present means no
built-in controller). AFAICT, 'msi-parent' is just redundant here
because the fallback if msi-parent is not found is checking the bus's
DT node for a domain. See pci_host_bridge_of_msi_domain().

I didn't mean converting *all* MSI users, just what's in msi.txt and
maybe the PCI MSI stuff. Just starting a msi-controller.yaml schema
with the new properties is fine. Not that I wouldn't love for someone
to do all of msi.txt.

Right.
