No, this was a false alarm. It never worked with acpi irq routing on
older kernels in this HW configuration.
So, to sum up:
1) acpi routing enabled (no kernel parameter) => ports 4+5 defunct.
ports 4+5+6+7 are all on irq 11
2) acpi routing disabled (acpi=noirq) => all ports working, 4+5 on irq
10, 6+7 on irq 11
3) with the quirk [1] and acpi routing enabled => all ports working,
ports 4+5 on irq 10, 6+7 on irq 11
4) in windows => 4+5+6+7 are all on irq 9 and the ports are all working.
Any ideas what this means? Especially point 4)?
