Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Medium] Data race and logically flawed caching in dw_pcie_get_pcie_cap() due to unprotected read-modify-write and failure to cache 'not found' state.

PCI: dwc: Add pcie_cap field and helper in designware header

This commit adds a pcie_cap field to struct dw_pcie to cache the offset of
the PCI Express Capability structure. It introduces dw_pcie_get_pcie_cap()
to perform the capability search on the first call and cache the result.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this repeatedly search the configuration space if the capability is
not found? If dw_pcie_find_capability() returns 0 when the capability is
missing, pci->pcie_cap will remain 0, causing the search to be repeated
on every subsequent call instead of being cached.

Also, since this helper might be called concurrently by different threads,
could the unprotected read and write to pci->pcie_cap cause a data race?
