The previous patch would crash on remove. pci_disable_msi has to be
called after free_irq.  FYI - pci_disable_msi is safe if MSI hasn't been

The API wants fixing, if code that fails to check return value of pci_enable_msi() is being written.

We should definitely be checking the return value there...

I don't understand. pci_enable_msi() returns error if device doesn't
do MSI, that's fine.

It also returns errors for conditions other than "doesn't do MSI", and therein lies the problem with not checking return values.
