Right, the commit log could have been more informative.

pcibios_add_device() was added in:

commit d1e6dc91b532 ("arm64: Add architectural support for PCI")

whose commit log does not specify why legacy IRQ parsing should
be done at pcibios_add_device() either, so honestly we had to
do with the information we have at hand.

Yes, with [1], that was the goal, that stopped because [1] does not
work on x86.

Only DT platform(s) affected by this change are all platforms relying on
drivers/pci/host/pci-xgene.c (others rely on pci_fixup_irqs() that
should be removed too), if on those platforms probing IRQs at device
enable time works ok I can update this patch (it can be done through [1]
once we figure out what to do with it on x86) and move the IRQ set-up at
pcibios_enable_device() time.

@Duc: any feedback on this ?

Thanks,
Lorenzo
