That is probably because MT7915E card does not trigger that issue. But
I think issue is really in Marvell hardware.

At this stage there is no link with the card. But kernel does not know
it as there is missing implementation for DLLSC interrupt in pci-mvebu.c
driver. We need DLLSC support for debugging this issue.

For another Marvell driver (pci-aardvark.c) there is already pending
patch for review which adds DLLSC interrupt support:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20220220193346.23789-9-kabel@kernel.org/

So on Armada 3720 platforms it is possible to start debugging it.

I have (experimental) DLLSC support prepared also for pci-mvebu.c but it
depends on summary interrupt which is in missing in irq-armada-370-xp.c:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pali/linux.git/log/?h=pci-mvebu

So without that summary interrupt in irq-armada-370-xp.c driver it is
not possible to get information about it in pci-mvebu.c driver.
