Some devices have problems with Transaction Layer Packets with the Relaxed
Ordering Attribute set.  This patch set adds a new PCIe Device Flag,
PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_RELAXED_ORDERING, a set of PCI Quirks to catch some known
devices with Relaxed Ordering issues, and a use of this new flag by the
cxgb4 driver to avoid using Relaxed Ordering with problematic Root Complex
Ports.

Series applied, thanks.

I got a NULL deref in pci_find_pcie_root_port()

Was it expected ?

This local hack seems to fix the issue.
