That's understood, the question is what happens if you do scan devfn != 0.

Thank you for explaining - that matches my understanding.

I think it is best to ask DT maintainers (in CC) POV on this, they
certainly have a more comprehensive view than mine on the subject - I
have just noticed that _some_ data can be retrieved through DT therefore
I raised the point - either through different compatible strings or
some IP specific properties.

That's what I was getting at. Ard (CC'ed) implemented a firmware set-up
(even though it was for a different IP but maybe it applies here) that
allows the kernel to use the pci-host-generic driver to initialize the
PCI controller:

https://marc.info/?l=linux-pci&m=150360022626351&w=2

I want to understand if there is an IP initialization sequence whereby
this IP can be made to work in an ECAM compliant way and therefore
reuse (most of) the pci-host-generic driver code.

I would like to understand what the HW "trick" (if you can disclose it)
was, because if there is a chance to reuse the pci-host-generic driver
for this IP I want to take it (yes it may entail some firmware set-up in
the bootloader) - was it a HW trick or a specific IP SW configuration ?

That's a choice, I do not necessarily agree with it and I think we
should aim for more standardization on the PCI host bridge set-up
at firmware->kernel handover on DT platforms.

I asked because I do not have this IP documentation so I rely on you to
provide the correct initialization sequence and an explanation for it,
I think I understand now the initialization sequence a bit more but it
would be good to get to the bottom of it.

Thank you,
