And would it break anything?  A normal PCI device will just ignore the
value in PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE, so the only "problem" which this could
cause is an unneeded printk.

I can think only about checking other devices on the same PCI bus - if
this 0x3065 device is at devfn 0x12.0, and there is a VIA ISA bridge at
devfn 0x11.0, it is probably a builtin device which needs the quirk.
