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]).

+Firmware of PCIe controller for Renesas R-Car V4H
+=================================================
+
+Renesas R-Car V4H (r8a779g0) has a PCIe controller, requiring a specific
+firmware download during startup.
+
+However, Renesas currently cannot distribute the firmware free of charge.
+
+The firmware file "104_PCIe_fw_addr_data_ver1.05.txt" (note that the file name
+might be different between different datasheet revisions) can be found in the
+datasheet encoded as text, and as such, the file's content must be converted
+back to binary form. This can be achieved using the following example script:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ $ awk '/^\s*0x[0-9A-Fa-f]{4}\s+0x[0-9A-Fa-f]{4}/ { print substr($2,5,2) substr($2,3,2) }' \
+ 104_PCIe_fw_addr_data_ver1.05.txt | \
+ xxd -p -r > rcar_gen4_pcie.bin
+
+Once the text content has been converted into a binary firmware file, verify
+its checksum as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ $ sha1sum rcar_gen4_pcie.bin
+ 1d0bd4b189b4eb009f5d564b1f93a79112994945 rcar_gen4_pcie.bin
+
+The resulting binary file called "rcar_gen4_pcie.bin" should be placed in the
+"/lib/firmware" directory before the driver runs.
