Thank you for the patch for drivers/parisc.
I cannot change platform dependent code or driver for each hardware
because I don't have enough knowledge. Maybe all I can do is only
for generic pci code. So I'd like you to post it as a separate patch.
BTW, I'm wondering if a function something like below is useful
to keep the code consistent. What do you think about it?
/*
* Returns true if the pci bus is root (behind host-pci brdige),
* false otherwise
*/
static inline bool pci_is_root_bus(struct pci_bus *pbus)
{
return !(pbus->parent);
}
Thanks,
