Because that is what the PCI bus binding standard says to do, and new drivers have been pushed toward conforming to that document. I'm not sure if "pciex" was ever standardized, I haven't see a spec that reflects that at least. Commit 14e2abb732e485ee57d9d5b2cb8884652238e5c1 introduced support for the "pciex" word, but it looks driven by proprietary choices by IBM.. In any event there isn't a single 'device_type = "pciex";' pre-exsting in the kernel bindings today, so please don't add one :) Regards, Jason -- 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
