This was so far unconditionally written, and my understanding is > that without this write, no further MSI can be delivered. Not all platforms invoke dw_handle_msi_irq() for handling MSI irq. Platforms that doesn't use the MSI functionality of Designware makes use of the various callbacks like msi_irq_ack, msi_host_init etc., Keystone has MSI controller in the Keystone wrapper, AM654 uses GIC ITS etc., The platforms that doesn't use MSI functionality of Designware doesn't have to write to Designware's MSI configuration registers.
