Hi Hans, thank you for the idea. If we can take this appraoch, the fix patch
will be simpler.

To be precise, the first test patch did P2SB scan only for the function 2.
To make sure your idea works, it's the better to test to scan all the function
numbers except 0, from 1 to 7.

Help for the audit will be appreciated.

With the quick grep for p2sb_bar() [2], there are five p2sb_bar() callers:

 1) edac/pnd2_edac             devfn = 0
 2) i2c/busses/i2c-i801        devfn = 0
 3) mfd/lpc_ich for pinctrl    devfn = 0
 4) mfd/lpc_ich for spi        devfn = PCI_DEVFN(13, 2)
 5) watchdog/simatic-ipc-wdt   devfn = 0

Four out of the five callers specify devfn = 0, which means devfn is the P2SB
default PCI_DEVFN(13, 0) on Goldmont. So the question is if the four drivers are
used on Goldmont platform or not. And I have no clue...
