AMD believes this incompatibility is unique to the 5706, and prefers to locally disable MSI rather than globally disabling it using pci_msi_quirk.Why is it unique to the 5706? Is this just a guess on AMD and Broadcom's part?
I just took AMD's word for it. It doesn't matter to me whether we disable it locally or globally. Since this is AMD's bridge, I just follow their recommendation. They probably haven't seen this issue on any other devices except ours.
