There is nothing broken in Tegra194 root port as such, rather,  this is more
of software configuration choice and we are going with legacy interrupts than
MSI interrupts (as Tegra194 doesn't support raising PME interrupts through MSI
and please note that this doesn't mean root port is broken). Since Tegra194 has
only Synopsys DesignWare core based host controllers and not any other hosts, I
think it is fine to call this API in driver. Also, since this is a global setting,
calling this APIs from anywhere (be it from quirk or from driver) would have the
same effect, or did I miss anything here?
