Applied to pci/virtualization for v4.6, with changelog as follows:

    PCI: Support SR-IOV on any function type
    
    Previously, we only supported SR-IOV on PCI Express Endpoints and Root
    Complex Integrated Endpoints.  This restriction has been present since
    d1b054da8f59 ("PCI: initialize and release SR-IOV capability") added SR-IOV
    support, but the spec does not require it.  In fact, the SR-IOV spec r1.1,
    sec 3.3, says the SR-IOV extended capability may be present for any Type 0
    function.
    
    Remove the function type test, so we can support SR-IOV on any function.
    
    Some AMD GPUs have display outputs, use the VGA class code, are Legacy
    Endpoints, and support SR-IOV.  This change allows Linux to enable SR-IOV
    on these devices.
