I don't remember the details, unfortunately, but my general recollection
is similar -- CFE on bcm1480 was doing a fairly good job of configuring
PCI, and I think we needed to preserve the configuration for Reasons
rather than letting the kernel change things away from the CFE setup.
I unfortunately no longer have any 1480 hardware to test on, nor do I
know who's left at BCM who might be able to validate this change.
