This disables MSI for all Freescale root ports, past, present, and
future.  Is that really what you want?  This is a bug (the root port
shouldn't advertise MSI if it doesn't support it), and presumably it
might be fixed in some future device?

This needs an ack from Minghuan or Mingkai (based on MAINTAINERS).
