This makes me a bit nervous (that doesn't mean it's not right, but we need some careful auditing & testing here, which I won't be able to do until I'm back from leave). Mostly due to the change in when we do the work. pcibios_fixup_bus() used to be called early on in the initial scan pass. Your code causes the code to be called -much- later when registering the device with the device model. Are we 100% certain nothing will happen in between that might rely on the stuff being setup already ? It might well be ok, but I want us to triple check that. Now, if we are ok to do the setup that late (basically right before the driver probe() routine gets called), would it make sense to simplify things even further ... and do it from pcibios_enable_device() ? Thus avoiding the notifier business completely or is that pushing it too far ? Also you seem to add: + /* Setup OF node pointer in the device */ + dev->dev.of_node = pci_device_to_OF_node(dev); This shouldn't be needed anymore, the device node should be setup by the core nowadays. Is this just a remnant of you rebasing an old patch or do you have a good reason to add this statement ?
