Somewhat... It's not the phantom function, the error I capture in my
IOMMU shows that it's trying to read from address 0 which is unmapped
but with the right initiator.

This device is a pile of crap. We've talked to Marvell support channel,
sent driver traces etc... but they didn't admit anything.

We've switched to a 9235 instead which seems to work fine.

Cheers,
Ben.
