Subject: [PATCH 2/8] PCI: Clarify the "scan anyway" comment in pci_scan_bridge.
Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 21:59:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1390510768-5652-3-git-send-email-andreas.noever@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1390510768-5652-1-git-send-email-andreas.noever@gmail.com>

Initially when we encountered a bus that was already present we skipped
it. Since 74710ded8e16 'PCI: always scan child buses' we continue
scanning in order to allow user triggered rescans of already existing
busses.

The old comment suggested that the reason for continuing the scan is a
bug in the i450NX chipset. This is not the case.
