Can you explain to pls me why you have to check this for every config
transaction ? Isn't it something that can prevent probing the
host controller altogether ?
In our PCIe hardware spec, it stated that software should check the
link status before issuing a configuration request to downstream
ports.
BTW, other pci controllers have similar implementation as well, eg: dw
pci, mvebu pci.
Understood, thanks.

Could you comment please on the chosen udelay/TLP_LOOP values (ie how
did you come up with them) ?
For udelay value, we just want to have small delay between each read.
I would explain how you chose the value, in particular if it can
affect next generation hosts sharing the same driver.
For TLP_LOOP value, minimum 2 loops to read tlp headers and 1 loop to
read data payload. So, we choose to poll 10 loops for maximum.
Add it to a comment.

Nit: It is already 0.
Okay. Will remove it.

I think you are missing a call to pcie_bus_configure_settings(),
see drivers/pci/host/pci-host-generic.c
Other pci controller drivers like xgene and iproc don't call to this
function, but it call in
arch/arm/kernel/bios32.c:pci_common_init_dev().
Do we really need this?
It is there to provide a way to configure the system MPS, through
command line parameters, it is always a good idea to have it and
it should be part of your driver so that you can tune it in case
the MPS is misconfigured or you want to apply a specific configuration
for a given system.

Have a look at pcie_bus_config and how it is used in
pcie_bus_configure_settings(), that would clarify further.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
