It only tries to use normal IRQ.

It's been posted on linux-media list... I added pci_enable_msi() to this
driver and it didn't help.

Precisely.

However, MSI doesn't seem to work either. Could be a problem specific to
this TW6869 card.

Ventana GW5410 has 5 mPCIe slots, and (with MSI enabled in the system)
those IRQs (non-MSI) don't work in any slot:

304: 0 0 0 0  PCI-MSI   0 Edge   PCIe PME, aerdrv
336: 0 0 0 0      GPC 123 Level  TW8689 in J7 slot
337: 0 0 0 0      GPC 122 Level  TW8689 in J8, J10, J11
338: 0 0 0 0      GPC 121 Level  TW8689 in J6)

If I enable MSI on this card (adding pci_enable_msi()):
313: 0 0 0 0  PCI-MSI   9 Edge   TW6869 in J7 slot

The only way I can get it to work is by disabling MSI (system wide).
