Stephen,

Can you give the lspci -vvv of device 5:00.0 to see if it's one we've
seen before?  Does the patch below help?

Bjorn, I think we need to quirk it somehow.  So far they've all been
PCI-to-PCI bridges attached to root ports where we expect it's actually
a PCIe-to-PCI bridge.  Seems like maybe we could have the same attached
to a downstream port.  The patch below avoids the WARN and gives us a
device, but of course pci_is_pcie reports wrong for this device and may
cause some trickle down breakage.  A more complete option might be to
add a is_pcie flag to the device that can be set independent of
pcie_cap.  We'd need to check all the callers for assumptions, but then
we could put the quirk in one place and hopefully fix everything.
Thoughts?  Thanks,

Alex
