This series of patches are to unify pci initialization code and add

PM

quoted

quoted

support

for all 85xx/86xx powerpc boards. But two side effects are introduced

by this

quoted

mechanism which listed below:

1. of_platform_bus_probe() will be called twice but in some cases

duplication

quoted

   warning occured. We fix this in [PATCH 5/6].

2. Edac driver failed to register pci nodes as platform devices. We

fix

quoted

quoted

this

quoted

   in [PATCH 6/6].

With these patches will not the SWIOTLB will not be initialized even

if

quoted

PCI/PCIe demanded?

Thanks
-Bharat

These patches still have the swiotlb init problem if

"ppc_swiotlb_enable" is

quoted

only demanded by PCI/PCIe. One of the purposes of sending out these

patches

quoted

is to let us start a discussion for this problem in upstream.

When sending out a patchset like that, label it as [RFC PATCH] (request
for comments), and mention all known problems to be resolved.
