yes.

As current pcie-designeware driver is not supporting legacy IntA IRQs,
so we left it.

If the system does not guarantee it, then won't be it a bug in the
hardware?
In our case, there is no separate interrupt for DMA completion. (I do
not know if other system does have DMA interrupt). We have only one
interrupt and when it is received SW will look into main memory (MSI
address) for MSI data. If DMA transfer is yet not complete, then SW ll
read junk data and which will be a bug.
We have never seen any erroneous behaviour with MSI interrupt.
