PCI: Add pci_irq_type() to query the allocated interrupt typegrafted
Add a helper that returns PCI_IRQ_MSIX, PCI_IRQ_MSI, or PCI_IRQ_INTX
based on the interrupt type the PCI core selected after
pci_alloc_irq_vectors().
Several drivers already open-code this check against pdev->msix_enabled
and pdev->msi_enabled, or even open code this helper [1].
A common helper avoids the duplication and keeps drivers from accessing
the bitfield directly (see also [2]).
