Hi Thomas,

As you rightly mentioned the irq_chip has only irq_write_msi_msg() as
callback, but there is also cdx_msi_prepare() in msi_domain_ops which
needs to fetch device ID from CDX device, due to which we are currently
using separate CDX domain.

IIUC, as per your suggestion we should have CDX bus token added into 
its_init_dev_msi_info() of
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/devel.git/tree/drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3-its-msi-parent.c?h=devmsi-arm,
and register CDX specific 'msi_prepare' here; so that we can use
msi_create_device_irq_domain() to create a per device domain?

Thanks,
Nipun
