Please don't shoot the messenger, but I don't see any reply to (what I
assume is the biggest reason why Bjorn did not merge this series):

""
.cpu_addr_fixup() is a generic problem that affects dwc (dra7xx, imx6,
artpec6, intel-gw, visconti), cadence (cadence-plat), and now
apparently microchip.

I deferred these because I'm hoping we can come up with a more generic
solution that's easier to apply across all these cases.  I don't
really want to merge something that immediately needs to be reworked
for other drivers.

It should probably state in the cover letter how v9 addresses Bjorn's
concern when it comes to other PCI controller drivers, especially those
that are not DWC based.

Thank you for your reminder, I forget mentions this in cover letter. I
create new patch to figure out this Bjorn's problem.

PCI: Add parent_bus_offset to resource_entry

I see.

If you are solving this problem in a generic way, then it would make sense
if the generic patch comes first in the series, and then the driver (DWC)
specific patches come after that.

Your cover letter, including the subject is also written in a DWC specific
manner.

If you are solving a generic problem, then describe first how you solve
the generic problem, followed by DWC specific details.

See e.g. my cover letter here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20250119050850.2kogtpl5hatpp2tv@thinkpad/T/#t (local)

Thanks, let's wait for Bjorn's comments about new method. I will do that
next time if need respin.

Frank

Kind regards,
Niklas
