I just took a look into the old implementation of pci_intx() (there was
no pcim_intx() back then), before I started cleaning up PCI's devres.
This what it looked like before
25216afc9db53d85dc648aba8fb7f6d31f2c8731:

void pci_intx(struct pci_dev *pdev, int enable)
{
	u16 pci_command, new;

	pci_read_config_word(pdev, PCI_COMMAND, &pci_command);

	if (enable)
		new = pci_command & ~PCI_COMMAND_INTX_DISABLE;
	else
		new = pci_command | PCI_COMMAND_INTX_DISABLE;

	if (new != pci_command) {
		struct pci_devres *dr;

		pci_write_config_word(pdev, PCI_COMMAND, new);

		dr = find_pci_dr(pdev);
		if (dr && !dr->restore_intx) {
			dr->restore_intx = 1;
			dr->orig_intx = !enable;
		}
	}
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pci_intx);

If I'm not mistaken the old version did not have the problem because
the value to be restored only changed if new != pci_command.

That should always be correct, what do you think?

If so, only my commit 25216afc9db53d85dc648aba8fb7f6d31f2c8731 needs to
be fixed.

Thanks,
P.
