Disable MSIs on them. > > Signed-off-by: Shane Huang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Can we get some detail as to why these north bridges have to have MSI disabled completely? I can't believe that all 6 of these ATI controllers which will now be listed in the quirk table cannot use MSI at all. I've discovered several cases where it was a buggy device or a driver bug that caused someone to erroneously submit patches that disable MSI completely for the bridge they were behind. I don't want that to happen any more. One way to prevent that is to have a full detailed justification for the MSI disabling in the changelog or in the comments for the MSI quirk. Thank you. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
