I think it was leftover from debugging and just to be careful.  We had
some issues when we originally enabled MSI-X on certain boards.  The
fix was to just allocate a single vector (since that is all we use
anyway) and we were using the wrong irq (pdev->irq vs
pci_irq_vector(pdev, 0)).  For reference, the original patch to add
MSI-X:

    drm/amdgpu : enable msix for amdgpu driver

    We might used out of the msi resources in some cloud project
    which have a lot gpu devices(including PF and VF), msix can
    provide enough resources from system level view

    drm/amdgpu: improve MSI-X handling (v3)

    Check the number of supported vectors and fall back to MSI if
    we return or error or 0 MSI-X vectors.

    v2: only allocate one vector.  We can't currently use more than
    one anyway.

    v3: install the irq on vector 0.
