Understood now, thanks.

I'd suggest adding a flag "unsigned int pvm_capable;" to struct controller
below "u32 slot_cap" (in the "capabilities and quirks" section),
setting that flag in pcie_init() from dev->msi_cap + PCI_MSI_FLAGS
(& PCI_MSI_FLAGS_MASKBIT) and amending pciehp_isr() to check for that
flag and re-read / re-write the Slot Status register until it's all zeroes.
That would make the reason for the modifications to pciehp_isr() explicit.
Please try to make the modifications to pciehp_isr() as small and simple
as possible.  Maybe it's worthwhile to put them in a separate static
function which is called from pciehp_isr(), I don't know.

Please mention the PCI vendor / device IDs in the commit message
and provide a reference to the PCIe Base Spec section you've quoted
above.

Thanks,

Lukas
