Hi Lorenzo, Bjorn,

(Refresh this thread on this merge cycle)

I tried to use _DEP method to describe the dependency of PCIe node to
MSI node but it turns out that PCIe driver does not check for the
dependency (only EC (ec.c) and I2C core (i2c-core.c) use
acpi_walk_dep_device_list to check for dependency before loading
dependent drivers)

Do you have other suggestion/example about how to ensure strict
ordering on driver loading in ACPI boot mode without changing the
order of ACPI nodes in DSDT?

Duc Dang.
