Hey there,
Seeing as the .dts for the APM82181 has been recently overhauled, I was wondering if it's possible to initialize devices that (as far as I can tell) require MSI in order to initialize.
I installed a BCM43465 (a.k.a. bcm4366c0), and installed the 4366c0 firmware and brcmfmac. Sadly, wireless does not come up:

I tested to confirm that snapshot x86 OpenWrt does work with this card -- /proc/interrupts shows that the card is actually using MSI line, and I seem to recall that this is a requirement for the card, but I can't find my source for that.
I do see that target/linux/apm821xx/dts/apm82181.dtsi and target/linux/apm821xx/dts/meraki-mx60.dts have been recently changed to discuss the MSI capabilities of the SoC.
How can I change the .dts so the board accepts the IRQ request from the Broadcom card / driver?
Thanks.
