It seems that the default MPS strategy can be set using Kconfigs:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.15-rc2/drivers/pci/pci.c#L126-L136
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.15-rc2/include/linux/pci.h#L1110-L1116

Note that the these Kconfigs are hidden behind CONFIG_EXPERT.
So unless you have explicitly set one of these Kconfigs, the default should be:
PCIE_BUS_DEFAULT, /* Ensure MPS matches upstream bridge */

Kind regards,
Niklas
