Thanks for your testing! I assume you are also setting fw_devlink=on?

Hmmm... ok. In the working case, does your PCI probe before IOMMU? If
yes, then your results make sense.

If your PCI does probe after IOMMU and uses IOMMU, then I'm not sure
what else could be changing the order of the device probing. In any
case, glad that the default case works and we have a fix merged even
for .strict=1.
