Hi Kans,

A general comment: You should base your work on the "for-1.3.1" branch of the 
u-boot-ppc4xx custodian repository:

http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot/u-boot-ppc4xx.git;a=shortlog;h=for-1.3.1

Amongst other changes to the 4xx PCIe support, this new version now 
support "dynamic" selection of root-complex/endpoint per PCIe port. This is 
done via the env variable "pcie_mode". By setting it to

=> setenv pcie_mode RP:EP:RP

you configure port 1 to endpoint and all other ports to root-complex.

Which registers are you referring to exactly?

Perhaps because they are not explicitly disabled?

Please try again with the new code from the for-1.3.1 branch. It has some 
changes for the endpoint support too.

Best regards,
