I'm trying to make sense of this. In this path:
pci_host_probe
pci_scan_root_bus_bridge
pci_register_host_bridge
bus = pci_alloc_bus(NULL) # root bus
bus->ops->add_bus(bus)
ks_pcie_v3_65_add_bus
The BAR0 in question must belong to a Root Port. And it sounds like
the issue must be related to MSI-X, since the original MSI doesn't
involve any BARs.
I don't understand why the Root Port's BAR0 is related to the link
being up. MSI-X configuration of the Root Port (presumably using
BAR0) shouldn't involve any transactions to devices *below* the Root
Port, and I would expect that BAR to be available (readable and
writable) regardless of whether the link is up.
If we skip the BAR0 configuration because the link is down at the time
of pci_host_probe(), when *do* we do that configuration? I don't see
another path to ks_pcie_v3_65_add_bus() for the root bus later.
Do you know what exactly causes the Completion Timeout? Is this a
read to BAR0, or some attempted access to a downstream device, or
something else?
Keystone is the only driver that uses .add_bus() for this, so it seems
a little weird, but maybe this is related to some Keystone-specific
hardware design.
