Thanks!
Bjorn, I sent the "[patch v2 4/9] sparc/PCI: Use dev_is_pci() to identify PCI devices" to
correct build error found by kbuild test, Because I have no sparc platform, I guess the build error was introduced
by I remove the CONFIG_PCI #ifdef in that patch. Now I keep the CONFIG_PCI code and that patch should be no functional change.
