The association in the decice tree between PCI and MSI
using fsl,msi property was an artificial one and it does
not reflect the actual hardware.

Should we not also remove the code associated with this property?

No. The property may be present in the device tree when running under Freescale hypervisor and it is used to skip the MSI nodes which are not mapped in PAMU.

The code in kernel handles both situations: when the property is present and in this case it searches only the corresponding MSI device for available interrupts and when the property is not present and in this case it loops over all the MSI devices.
