[PATCH RFC 0/2] mlx5/pci: Fix enablement of PCIe AtomicOp Requests

[Gerd Bayer <gbayer@linux.ibm.com>]

As I promised in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/9c7c4217171fb56c505dc90b8c73b2ce079207a9.camel@linux.ibm.com/#t
here's an RFC patch proposing to correct the usage of
pci_enable_atomic_ops_to_root() in the Ethernet and InfiniBand drivers
for Mellanox/NVidia devices.

With this fix, AtomicOp Requests would only be enabled if a root-port
correctly announced its capability to support all AtomicOps including
the optional 128bit CAS - as the drivers intend to.

That said, on the only x86 system that I can test this on, it appears
that UEFI is already enabling AtomicOp Requests for the ConnectX-6 Dx
card in that system.

Overall, both the enablement of PCIe AtomicOps by core PCI code, and
their usage by (very few) device drivers, appear to be in need of some
attention?

Thanks,
Gerd
