That's expected. The port services will use an MSI IRQ when available
and due to a design issue with the DWC PCIe it will not forward any
legacy IRQs if any MSI is in use. If any of the PCIe devices in your
system are unable to work with MSI IRQs, you must boot with "nomsi" on
the kernel command line set.
