See the proposed Marvell PCIe driver and Tegra PCIe driver: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-February/149232.html http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-January/140649.html Both Thierry (doing the Tegra PCIe driver) and myself (doing the Marvell PCIe driver) already have fairly long patch series to add support for the PCIe interfaces in our respective SoC. In order to ease the process of getting those merged, we'd like to get some of the base functions we depend on to be merged first, so that our patch series become a bit smaller and therefore more manageable. My Marvell PCIe patch series already has 32 patches (including the ones we are currently discussing), and I will need even more patches for the upcoming fourth version (due to additional comments made during the review of the third version of the patch set). So, it would really be helpful if this base infrastructure, for which users already exist in the form of submitted patches, that have already gone through multiple iterations, could be merged.
