pcieport bug?

[Steven J Abner <pheonix.sja@att.net>]

Hi
Building a kernel tailored for AMD 2400g on ASRock B450 using 5.18.12 
as base, OS
is Elementary 6.1 on top of Ubuntu 20.04.5.
In a config I changed some which lead to this query,'cause not sure 
what it means.
So up to you see if it is of concern. Notation igpu# refers to build 
sequence tests.
Also note that pcieport may affect other drivers?

config differences
igpu33
# CONFIG_PCIEPORTBUS is not set
# CONFIG_PCI_IOV is not set
# CONFIG_VGA_ARB is not set
# CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI is not set

lspci differences:
start with identical:
00:00.0 Host bridge
00:00.2 IOMMU
00:01.0 Host bridge

kernel builds after igpu33 stable flags, only irq differences
kernel builds upto igpu32 flags differ including non-pcieport drivers,
there was a few builds where flags matched out of 32 different builds
I thought was normal that flags changed prior to 33-37 being very 
stable.

under 00:01.1 PCI bridge:

Kernel driver in use: pcieport

under these, nearly same readout as above (32vs33 use of pcieport)
00:01.6 PCI bridge
00:08.1 PCI bridge
00:08.2 PCI bridge
11:01.0 PCI bridge
11:02.0 PCI bridge
15:00.2 PCI bridge
1d:00.0 PCI bridge
1d:01.0 PCI bridge
1d:04.0 PCI bridge
1d:05.0 PCI bridge
1d:06.0 PCI bridge
1d:07.0 PCI bridge

on non-pcieport drivers minor differences in +- states
on nvme added line:
Physical Slot: 0
but +- state can change like others
