[ Upstream commit e9ce5b3804436301ab343bc14203a4c14b336d1b ]

This reverts commit 36971d6c5a9a134c15760ae9fd13c6d5f9a36abb.

While this fake hotplugging was a nice idea, it has shown that this feature
does not handle PCIe switches correctly:
pci_bus 0004:43: busn_res: can not insert [bus 43-41] under [bus 42-41] (conflicts with (null) [bus 42-41])
pci_bus 0004:43: busn_res: [bus 43-41] end is updated to 43
pci_bus 0004:43: busn_res: can not insert [bus 43] under [bus 42-41] (conflicts with (null) [bus 42-41])
pci 0004:42:00.0: devices behind bridge are unusable because [bus 43] cannot be assigned for them
pci_bus 0004:44: busn_res: can not insert [bus 44-41] under [bus 42-41] (conflicts with (null) [bus 42-41])
pci_bus 0004:44: busn_res: [bus 44-41] end is updated to 44
pci_bus 0004:44: busn_res: can not insert [bus 44] under [bus 42-41] (conflicts with (null) [bus 42-41])
pci 0004:42:02.0: devices behind bridge are unusable because [bus 44] cannot be assigned for them
pci_bus 0004:45: busn_res: can not insert [bus 45-41] under [bus 42-41] (conflicts with (null) [bus 42-41])
pci_bus 0004:45: busn_res: [bus 45-41] end is updated to 45
pci_bus 0004:45: busn_res: can not insert [bus 45] under [bus 42-41] (conflicts with (null) [bus 42-41])
pci 0004:42:06.0: devices behind bridge are unusable because [bus 45] cannot be assigned for them
pci_bus 0004:46: busn_res: can not insert [bus 46-41] under [bus 42-41] (conflicts with (null) [bus 42-41])
pci_bus 0004:46: busn_res: [bus 46-41] end is updated to 46
pci_bus 0004:46: busn_res: can not insert [bus 46] under [bus 42-41] (conflicts with (null) [bus 42-41])
pci 0004:42:0e.0: devices behind bridge are unusable because [bus 46] cannot be assigned for them
pci_bus 0004:42: busn_res: [bus 42-41] end is updated to 46
pci_bus 0004:42: busn_res: can not insert [bus 42-46] under [bus 41] (conflicts with (null) [bus 41])
pci 0004:41:00.0: devices behind bridge are unusable because [bus 42-46] cannot be assigned for them
pcieport 0004:40:00.0: bridge has subordinate 41 but max busn 46

During the initial scan, PCI core doesn't see the switch and since the Root
Port is not hot plug capable, the secondary bus number gets assigned as the
subordinate bus number. This means, the PCI core assumes that only one bus
will appear behind the Root Port since the Root Port is not hot plug
capable.

This works perfectly fine for PCIe endpoints connected to the Root Port,
since they don't extend the bus. However, if a PCIe switch is connected,
then there is a problem when the downstream busses starts showing up and
the PCI core doesn't extend the subordinate bus number and bridge resources
after initial scan during boot.

The long term plan is to migrate this driver to the upcoming pwrctrl APIs
that are supposed to handle this problem elegantly.
