This is called early on when a device gets created in pci_setup_device(),
so platforms can still override the value later.

The idea here is that normally a BIOS stores the interrupt number in
the PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE config space byte, and we just read it from
there. Generally speaking though, for non-PC systems we tend to not
have a BIOS that writes these values to start with, and any values
stored in here have no meaning in combination with SPARSE_IRQ
and/or IRQ_DOMAINS because the bootloader or BIOS doesn't know
what IRQ number will refer to hardware IRQ line in Linux.
