H A Dpm8001_init.cc913df3f Fri Oct 30 09:53:31 CDT 2015 Benjamin Rood <benjaminjrood@gmail.com> pm80xx: avoid a panic if MSI(X) interrupts are disabled

If MSI(X) interrupts are disabled via the kernel command line
(pci=nomsi), the pm8001 driver will kernel panic because it does not
detect that MSI interrupts are disabled and will soldier on and attempt to
configure MSI interrupts anyways. This leads to a kernel panic, most
likely because a required data structure is not available down the
line. Using the pci_msi_enabled() function in order to detect if MSI
interrupts are enabled before configuring them resolves this issue and
avoids a kernel panic when the module is loaded. Additionally, the
irq_vector structure must be initialized when legacy interrupts are
being used otherwise legacy interrupts will simply not function and
result in another panic.
