You need to explain why this change is necessary. PNP0A08 devices
will have a PNP0A03 _CID, so the driver already claims PNP0A08 devices
because the _CID matches.
Hi Bjorn,
Here is my reason, but just my personal opinion. :)
1) There is no code to handle a pcie host bridge hotplug in kernel now.
And when this happens, pci host bridge related code will be
executed, which makes me think that PNP0A03 and PNP0A08 are seen as
the same devices. At least for now they are.
So, acpi_pci_roots doesn't include PNP0A08 seems a little strange to
me.
2) When I was reading Liu Jiang's "ACPI based hotplug framework"
patches, I happened to see that he defined the following:
static char *acpihp_dev_pcihb_ids[] = {
"PNP0A03",
"PNP0A08",
NULL
};
And also, Lu Yinghai defined the following in his own patch:
static const struct acpi_device_id root_device_ids[] = {
{"PNP0A03", 0},
{"PNP0A08", 0},
{NULL, 0}
};
I think all these arraies should represent the same things, and we
need only one of them.
For now, it is root_device_ids[] in drivers/acpi/pci_root.c.
Well, all above is my own opinion. And you are right, even if we don't
change it, there won't be any problem.
Thanks. :)
