Platform != driver. Here the driver is making the call, but the platform
capability should come from DT, no? I don't like the idea of disabling INTx in
the driver because, the driver may support multiple SoCs and these capability
may differ between them. So the driver will end up just hardcoding the info
which is already present in DT :/

Moreover, the issue I'm seeing is, even if the platform doesn't support INTx (as
described by DT in this case), of_irq_parse_pci() doesn't report correct
error/log. So of_irq_parse_pci() definitely needs a fixup.

Yeah, as simple as that. But I don't know if that is globally applicable to
all platforms.
