Re: [PATCH 0/4] PCI: Convert dynamic PCI resources sysfs objects into static

Hello Bjorn,

I wanted to add that Krzysztof Hałasa was able to find a bit of spare
time to test this series on his i.MX6 (Gateworks Ventana SBC), and
completed a number of tests (such as power-cycling the SoC, etc.)
without running into previous Oops and panic during boot.

The follow-up to this series will be changes specific to the Alpha
platform and legacy PCI attributes.

But since a majority of hardware platforms aren't really using legacy
PCI attributes these days (unless I am mistaken) and Alpha is not widely
used, fixing race condition in the PCI resource files converting them to
static sysfs objects would be a priority.

This will also make it easier to back-port this and other patches that
paved the way prior to this one the stable and LTS releases, especially
since these are widely used in popular distributions that tend to
back-port a lot too into their stable releases.

	Krzysztof
