They're from v5.10, which was before all of Krzysztof W's nice work
converting to static attributes, but Koen's log shows the error
happening in the pci_sysfs_init() initcall, which is *after*
imx6_pcie_probe():

   imx6_pcie_probe                # probably device initcall (level 6)
     ...
       pci_create_sysfs_dev_files

   pci_sysfs_init                 # late initcall (level 7)
     pci_create_sysfs_dev_files
       "sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename"
Well, imx6_pcie_probe() is called indirectly by
platform_driver_register(). I guess it doesn't know about the initcall
ordering, after it's registered.

It looks like the problem is the imx6_pcie_probe() (via
dw_pcie_host_init() -> pci_host_probe()) is interfering with
pci_sysfs_init(). This may eventually cause some invalid memory access
as well.

BTW I thought for a moment that maybe 5.14 is free from this. I was
wrong. The problem doesn't manifest itself on my custom i.MX6 device
(using Tinyrex CPU module from Voipac/Fedevel, perhaps because I don't
use any PCI devices there). It does on Ventana SBC from Gateworks,
though. BTW the above (and below) is v5.16.

It goes like this:

Hi all,

Any update on this topic?
I just tested kernel 5.15 on imx6 (gateworks Ventana 5200) and as soon as I connect a pcie device on one of the ports,

following happens:

Any idea if this is related?


Thanks,

Koen
