Yes, you are right. I plan to send a follow up patch after this one to
remove the port->link_up check in xgene_pcie_map_bus and make root
port discoverable even when the slot is empty. I can combine this
follow up patch with this one if you feel OK with it.

Yes, I will replace above code with:

pci_generic_config_read32(bus, devfn, where & ~0x3, 4, *val)

to read 4 bytes to *val;
