any chance you can address mine? Specifically I suggested
listing commit id that you started from. Also:

Is a bad name. Ideally file scope names should have a prefix
assigned_dev_ or pci_assign_ or something like that
but it's not a hard requirement. In this case
file includes msix.h so prefix msix_ is confusing.
