Can you be a little more specific about the issue here? I think you
mean pci_device_add()-time, because that's where we call
pcibios_add_device. Which ACPI tables are involved? _PRT? Why is
that a problem? We don't cache those tables any more after
181380b702ee ("PCI/ACPI: Don't cache _PRT, and don't associate them
with bus numbers").

x86 and ia64 both call acpi_pci_irq_enable() from
pcibios_enable_device(). Could you do the same on ARM64?
pcibios_enable_device() happens later than either pci_device_add() or
pci_device_probe().

Not your problem, but your patch makes it obvious: it's ugly that we
set dev->irq to the IRQ returned from of_irq_parse_and_map_pci(), but
acpi_pci_irq_enable() sets dev->irq internally.

x86 also has the situation of calling either acpi_pci_irq_enable() or
of_irq_parse_and_map_pci(), and it looks like they can even decide at
run-time as you can here. If we're solving the same problem, can we
use a similar mechanism? x86 sets a pcibios_enable_irq function
pointer.
