I added the following tags, which I *think* should be sufficient:

  PCI: Set Cavium ACS capability quirk flags to assert RR/CR/SV/UF
  Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org      # v4.6+: b77d537d00d0: PCI: Apply Cavium ACS quirk only to CN81xx/CN83xx/CN88xx devices

  PCI: Apply Cavium ThunderX ACS quirk to more Root Ports
  Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org      # v4.12+
