MSI not working in 4.9 kernel, but working in 4.4 kernel

Hi,
I am unable to get MSI interrupt from android-hikey-linaro-4.9, it is working fine in branch android-hikey-linaro-4.4
checked out via kernel/hikey-linaro - Git at Google

Initially when I compared defconfigs between two, I found out CONFIG_PCI_MSI was not enabled in 4.9 kernel, so enabled the same in 4.9 (arch/arm64/hikey960_defconfig), still no luck.

In my driver I tried below both APIs
pci_alloc_irq_vectors(pdev, min_vecs, max_vecs, PCI_IRQ_MSI);
request_irq(pci_irq_vector(pdev, 0), pcie_isr, IRQF_SHARED, name, handle);
and
pci_enable_msi_range(pdev, min_vecs, max_vecs);
request_irq(pdev->irq, pcie_isr, IRQF_SHARED, name, handle);

I see significant difference in the DTS file between 4.4 and 4.9 as well

In 4.4, there is entry for MSI

its_pcie: interrupt-controller@f4000000 {
	compatible = "arm,gic-v3-its";
	msi-controller;
	reg = <0x0 0xf7000000 0x0 0x100000>;
};

kirin_pcie_rc@0xf4000000 {
	compatible = "hisilicon,kirin-pcie";
	reg =  <0x0 0xf4000000 0x0 0x1000>, <0x0 0xff3fe000 0x0 0x1000>, <0x0 0xf3f20000 0x0 0x40000>, <0x0 0xF5000000 0 0x2000>;

	clocks = <&crg_ctrl HI3660_PCIEPHY_REF>, <&crg_ctrl HI3660_CLK_GATE_PCIEAUX>,

		 <&crg_ctrl HI3660_ACLK_GATE_PCIE>;
	clock-names = "pcie_phy_ref", "pcie_aux", "pcie_apb_phy", "pcie_apb_sys", "pcie_aclk";
	interrupts = <0 283 4>;
	interrupt-names = "INTb";
	reset-gpio = <&gpio11 1 0 >;
	eye_param_ctrl2 = <0x1540AA4B>;
	eye_param_ctrl3 = <0x14003FFF>;
};

which is not present in 4.9

	pcie@f4000000 {
		compatible = "hisilicon,kirin-pcie";

		clocks = <&crg_ctrl HI3660_PCIEPHY_REF>,

			      "pcie_apb_phy", "pcie_apb_sys",
			      "pcie_aclk";
		reset-gpio = <&gpio11 1 0 >;
	};

I tried adding “its_pcie” and “msi-parent = <&its_pcie>;”, still it is not working

Why CONFIG_PCI_MSI is not enabled by default in 4.9 defconfig? and why DTS does not contain MSI entry? Is there a known issue with MSI?

Thanks,
Shankar
