The check in pci_register_host_bridge() is like below.

if (bridge->msi_domain && !dev_get_msi_domain(&bus->dev) &&
            !pci_host_of_has_msi_map(parent))
                bus->bus_flags |= PCI_BUS_FLAGS_NO_MSI;

When there is no IMSIC, bridge->msi_domain is 0 and hence
PCI_BUS_FLAGS_NO_MSI will never be set. Do you recommend to set
PCI_BUS_FLAGS_NO_MSI if bridge->msi_domain is 0? Let me know if I am
missing something.

Thanks,
Sunil
