Other owners of affected chip versiosn made the same experience, MSI-X
works fine until resume from suspend.

These "conflicts" were a misunderstanding which was clarified with the
reporter. "PCI-MSI" as irq chip name in /proc/interrupts output was
interpreted in a way that a MSI irq is used, not a MSI-X irq.

The firmware is for the PHY only, that's at least my experience on
the chip versions I have for testing.
