Apologies if this is slightly off topic, but I have been meaning to ask
about MSIs and PCI. On Tegra194 which uses the DWC PCI driver, whenever we
hotplug CPUs we see the following warnings ...

 [      79.068351] WARNING KERN IRQ70: set affinity failed(-22).
 [      79.068362] WARNING KERN IRQ71: set affinity failed(-22).

These interrupts are the MSIs ...

70:          0          0          0          0          0          0          0          0   PCI-MSI 134217728 Edge      PCIe PME, aerdrv
71:          0          0          0          0          0          0          0          0   PCI-MSI 134742016 Edge      ahci[0001:01:00.0]

This caused because ...

 static int dw_pci_msi_set_affinity(struct irq_data *d,
                                    const struct cpumask *mask, bool force)
 {
         return -EINVAL;
 }

Now the above is not unique to the DWC PCI host driver, it appears that
most PCIe drivers also do the same. However, I am curious if there is
any way to avoid the above warnings given that setting the affinity does
not appear to be supported in anyway AFAICT.

Cheers
Jon
