Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 21:59:22 +0100 Message-Id: <1390510768-5652-3-git-send-email-andreas.noever@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <1390510768-5652-1-git-send-email-andreas.noever@gmail.com> References: <1390510768-5652-1-git-send-email-andreas.noever@gmail.com> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: 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.
