[PATCH] powerpc/pci: Initialize msi_addr_mask for OF-created PCI devices

Recent changes [1] replaced the use of no_64bit_msi with msi_addr_mask.
As a result, msi_addr_mask is now expected to be initialized to
DMA_BIT_MASK(64) when a pci_dev is set up. However, this initialization
was missed on powerpc due to differences in the device initialization
path compared to other architectures. Due to this, now pci device probe
method fails on powerpc system.

On powerpc systems, struct pci_dev instances are created from device
tree nodes via of_create_pci_dev(). Because msi_addr_mask was not
initialized there, it remained zero. Later, during MSI setup,
msi_verify_entries() validates the programmed MSI address against
pdev->msi_addr_mask. Since the mask was not set correctly, the
validation fails, causing PCI driver probe failures for devices on
powerpc systems.

Initialize pdev->msi_addr_mask to DMA_BIT_MASK(64) in
of_create_pci_dev() so that MSI address validation succeeds and device
probe works as expected.

Thanks for catching this. I had naively assumed that pci_setup_device()
was the right place for adding this initialization, and didn't think of
other possibilities.

I grep'd for pci_alloc_dev() and found these uses:

  * of_create_pci_dev() in arch/powerpc/kernel/pci_of_scan.c (this patch)
  * of_create_pci_dev() in arch/sparc/kernel/pci.c (*same missed init*)
  * drivers/char/agp/{alpha,parisc}-agp.c (fake pci_dev, should be fine)
  * drivers/scsi/megaraid.c (copying from existing pci_dev, should be fine)

So, while we're at it, can we fix the SPARC one as well in v2? The code
seems similar to what we do for powerpc.

of_create_pci_dev() so that MSI address validation succeeds and device

Nit: Link seems redundant given the Fixes tag below.

Thanks again,

Looks like this and a similar sparc fix need to be in v7.0.  Would be
great if they could make v7.0-rc1 (Sunday), but that's pretty close.

Thomas, you merged 386ced19e9a3.  I'm happy to merge the powerpc and
sparc fixes, given acks from you and the powerpc & sparc folks, or
feel free to take them yourself.

It's typical to add a blank line between the code above and the
comment below, as was done in 386ced19e9a3.

Yes I can do that but I don't have access to SPARC machine so I can't validate 
it. However I'd add SPARC maintainers and mailing list for review and so someone
might help.
