Re: Walnut PCI bridge can't be detected

[Xiaoshan Zuo <xzuo@vinesystech.com>]

I was puzzled by this for a while. Then I saw this code while debugging
PCI on my custom board:
In ppc405_pci.c, there is ppc4xx_exclude_device function:

static int
ppc4xx_exclude_device(unsigned char bus, unsigned char devfn)
{
/* We prevent us from seeing ourselves to avoid having
* the kernel try to remap our BAR #1 and fuck up bus
* master from external PCI devices
*/
return (bus == 0 && devfn == 0);
}

With this function there, there is no way you are going to see the
bridge, even your driver does the scan itself. I had to write my own
pci_read_config_<size> function to just to be able to read the bridge
configration.

Cheers,
