I'm not sure I see the need for pcie_tph_modes().  The new bnxt code
looks like this:

  bnxt_request_irq
    if (pcie_tph_modes(bp->pdev) & PCI_TPH_CAP_INT_VEC)
      rc = pcie_enable_tph(bp->pdev, PCI_TPH_CAP_INT_VEC);

What is the advantage of this over just this?

  bnxt_request_irq
    rc = pcie_enable_tph(bp->pdev, PCI_TPH_CAP_INT_VEC);

It seems like drivers could just ask for what they want since
pcie_enable_tph() has to verify support for it anyway.  If that fails,
the driver can fall back to another mode.

Returning a bitmask of supported modes might be useful if the driver
could combine them, but IIUC the modes are all mutually exclusive, so
the driver can't request a combination of them.
