You don't need to feel sorry for asking these questions, :) It's your previous question that initiates the investigation and as a result, one more redundant check (and potential limitation for future iProc based SoCs) is removed from the driver. I really appreciate these questions from you. > It looks somewhat > hacky to have the PAXC-specific "slot > 0" test, and I'm not sure it > should be necessary (again, unless there's some implementation > deficiency in that PAXC embedded endpoint).

Unfortunately, it looks like the integrated endpoint connected to PAXC is not fully compliant to the above described behavior. I tested by removing the "slot > 0" test in the driver and added some debug prints, it appears that attempted access to slot 1, 2, 3 cannot be rejected properly and results an kernel crash. Debugging prints are in the format of :: offset:0x [ 3.871332] 1:1:0 offset:0x0 [ 3.874552] 1:2:0 offset:0x0 [ 3.877759] 1:3:0 offset:0x0 [ 3.881454] Bad mode in Error handler detected, code 0xbf000002 -- SError [ 3.888996] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.4.0+ #117 [ 3.895801] Hardware name: Broadcom NS2 SVK (DT) [ 3.900967] task: ffffffc0fb088000 ti: ffffffc0fb090000 task.ti: ffffffc0fb090000 [ 3.909271] PC is at pci_generic_config_read32+0x74/0xa0 [ 3.915190] LR is at pci_generic_config_read32+0x28/0xa0 [ 3.921081] pc : [] lr : [] pstate: 200000c5 [ 3.929309] sp : ffffffc0fb093900 [ 3.932969] x29: ffffffc0fb093900 x28: ffffffc0fa9d2400 [ 3.938864] x27: ffffffc07a93c090 x26: 0000000000000000 [ 3.944838] x25: 0000000000000000 x24: ffffffc0fa9d2800 [ 3.950776] x23: 0000000000000040 x22: ffffffc000883318 [ 3.956678] x21: 0000000000000018 x20: ffffffc0fb093a0c [ 3.962589] x19: 0000000000000000 x18: 000000000000073f [ 3.968491] x17: ffffffffffffffff x16: 0000000000000011 [ 3.974356] x15: 0000000000000000 x14: ffffffffffffffff [ 3.980311] x13: ffffffffffffffff x12: 0000000000000000 [ 3.986258] x11: 00000000000002eb x10: 0000000000000006 [ 3.992177] x9 : 00000000000002ec x8 : 3078303a74657366 [ 3.998106] x7 : ffffffc000812a70 x6 : ffffffc0007d4dc4 [ 4.004026] x5 : 000000000000000f x4 : ffffffc0fb09398c [ 4.009937] x3 : 0000000000000004 x2 : ffffff80000d41f8 [ 4.015865] x1 : ffffff80000d4000 x0 : 0000000000000000 Therefore, we need to keep this 'hacky check' in the iProc host driver.
