That list is there to manage hotplug bridges, what makes you think
it is not necessary ? Jiang (in CC) can certainly comment on that and
how that list handling can be updated/simplified, if possible.

Looking thru the code, I think moving the MCFG code to common can be
done in a simpler way. I have posted a new patchset for this.
(And I don't see how the hotplug case needs the list, but that is not
 relevant now)

You must work with Tomasz and come up with a unified patchset that
implements ACPI PCIe support for ARM64. We do not need more churn, we
need a working set, period. Posting separate RFCs just adds to the
confusion and to maintainers' review backlog, with the end result of
confusing everyone and achieving nothing.
