Re: [PATCH v6 4/8] arm64: PCI: Support root bridge preparation for Hyper-V

[Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>]

Catalin and Will,

Appreciate it that you can have a look at this one and patch #4, note
that there exists an alternative solution at[1].

The difference is the way used to pass the corresponding ACPI device
pointers for PCI host bridges: currently pci_config_window->parent is
used, and this patch and patch #4 allow the field to be NULL, because
Hyper-V's PCI host bridges don't have ACPI devices, while [1] changes to
use pci_host_bridge->private. And I'm OK with either way, I don't have a
strong opinion here ;-)

Looking forwards to your suggestion, Thanks!

Regards,
Boqun
