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.
Actually, we don't have any calculation to choose the value. Just want
to give small relaxation between each read.
It is request from Marc in previous review.

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.
Okay.

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 for explanation. I will add it.

Thanks.
