Right, so the existing pci-layerscape-ep.c driver never supported MSIX yet it
erroneously had a switch case statement to call dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq which
would never get used.

Now that we're adding a platform with MSIX support the existing
dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq doesn't work (for this platform) so we are adding a
different method.

Given that dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq is used by pcie-designware-plat.c we
can assume this function at least works for it's use case.

Please update the commit message - It would be helpful to suggest that
dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq was never called in the exisitng driver because
msix_capable was always set to false.

Thanks,

Andrew Murray
