[PATCH] powerpc/pci: save P2P bridge resource if possible

[PATCH] powerpc/pci: save P2P bridge resource if possible

[Gavin Shan]

When PCI probe flag PCI_REASSIGN_ALL_RSRC has been passed into PCI
core, it's hoped that all resources to be reassigned by PCI core.
As to particular P2P (PCI-to-PCI) bridge, the size of the corresponding
BAR (I/O, MMIO, prefetchable MMIO) is calculated by the resources
required by the PCI devices behind the P2P bridge. That means that
the information like start/end address retrieved from the hardware
registers of the P2P bridge is meainingless in the case. However,
we still count that in and the BARs might have been configured by
firmware with non-zero size. That leads to space waste.

The patch explicitly sets the size of P2P bridge BARs to zero in
case that resource reassignment is expected with PCI probe flag
PCI_REASSIGN_ALL_RSRC. In the result, it will save overall resource
required by the system without waste.

Hrm... there was a reason I wasn't doing that .... but I can't
remember what it was, it's possible it no longer applies. I'll
have to make sure this patch is tested on various 4xx and FSL
configs.

Cheers,
Ben.

Ok. Thanks, Ben. By the way, I've tested it on Firebird-L machine
while passing PCI_REASSIGN_ALL_RSRC into PCI core. Everything looks
fine :-)
