It is not the fix or the recent changes (which the fix is for) to PCI
devres that is doing that. pci_intx() has been "silently redirect[ing]
to a managed version" since 15 years.

The changes merged into v6.11 attempted to keep this behavior exactly
identical as a preparation for later cleanups. The fix here only
corrects the position of the redirection to where the "crazy devres
voodoo" had always been:

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);

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

That has already been done. pcim_intx() sits in drivers/pci/devres.c

That's precisely what all my work is all about. The hybrid nature of
pci_intx(), pci_set_mwi() and all pci*request*() functions needs to be
removed.

However, that will take us some while, because the APIs are partly
ossificated and every user that relies on implicit crazy devres voodoo
has to be identified and then ported to *explicit* half-crazy devres
voodoo.
