Just one note here though re: how the Tegra HW works: The Tegra "PCIe controller" HW translates from a SoC-internal bus to another SoC-internal bus. The "PCIe root ports" translate from that second SoC-internal bus to a PCIe bus. That's exactly why the PCIe root port configuration registers don't show up via type 0 PCIe configuration transactions. Thus, from a HW perspective, it really is true that the PCIe root ports are PCI devices, but the "PCIe controller" really isn't anything to do with PCIe. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
