Sorry, got confused by your CSR_OFFSET macro into thinking it's Versatile specific (I
still cannot get hold of the SP810 manual, sigh). Why don't you use PCI_COMMAND ?

No, it is right. Host bridge config space should not be visible if it is a PCI
host bridge. And I'm guessing that this is the reason why everyone and their dog
does the PCI_COMMAND register setup for the host brige manually.

For PCIe the spec is a bit more forgiving is you use ECAM, although it doesn't
explicitly allow writes to the config space of the host bridge. From PCI Express
Base spec, rev 3.0:

	7.2.2.1. Host Bridge Requirements 
	For those systems that implement the ECAM, the PCI Express Host Bridge is
	required to translate the memory-mapped PCI Express Configuration Space
	accesses from the host processor to PCI Express configuration transactions.
	The use of Host Bridge PCI class code is Reserved for backwards compatibility;
	host Bridge Configuration Space is opaque to standard PCI Express software
	and may be implemented in an implementation specific manner that is compatible
	with PCI Host Bridge Type 0 Configuration Space.  A PCI Express Host Bridge is
	not required to signal errors through a Root Complex Event Collector.  This
	support is optional for PCI Express Host Bridges. 

So it looks like you need to do those in the host bridge probe function, rather than
in a generic way.

Best regards,
Liviu
