I believe it indeed worked in the past but with the DM PCI conversion
on MinnowMax recently it was broken. That's also why I sent a patch
[1] previously saying that we should explicitly trigger the PCI
enumeration process, as not all DM PCI APIs can trigger the PCI
enumeration, which it is supposed to be as per DM concept.
