Indeed. But this function never gets called with bus->number == 0, only
with bus->number = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. So those are child busses, and
therefore they have a parent.

If I had a debug message in this pcibios_window_alignment() function
(which gets shown unconditionally, i.e the debug message is outside the
if condition we are discussing), then I get:

pcibios_window_alignment: called for bus ef371c00 (sysdata=ef2f6bc0), number 1

See, never called bus bus number 0.

Except that this pcibios_window_alignement() function is apparently
never called for the root bus.

I am talking about the PCI-to-PCI bridges. I want the I/O windows
assigned to each PCI-to-PCI bridge to be 64K aligned. The PCI-to-PCI
bridges are devices that sit on bus 0, each giving access to the child
buses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

I have the impression that the pcibios_window_alignment() function is
called on the *child* bus to know the requested alignments for the
bridge that sits on the parent bus and gives access to this child bus.

Best regards,

Thomas
