Doesn't this just move a timeout out of the boot path and into a future
hotplug event?

These controllers do not set the "No Command Completed Support" bit, so
pciehp expects that they will generate Command Completed events after they
process commands.

During initialization, pcie_enable_notification() writes a command to set
the DLLSCE, ABPE, PDCE, MRLSCE, HPIE, CCIE bits.  The (EIC, PCC, PIC, AIC)
bits aren't changed, so per CF118, the controller will not set the Command
Completed bit.

Later, when we turn on power to the slot, ctrl->cmd_busy will still be set,
so won't we timeout waiting for the Command Completed bit?

(I think there's a bug in your patch (see below) that would explain why you
wouldn't see this timeout in testing.)

The CF118 erratum only affects commands that change DLLSCE, ABPE, PDCE,
etc., without also changing (EIC, PCC, PIC, AIC).  Any command *after* one
of these should time out.

But we only issue commands like that at boot/suspend/resume/reset time.
Maybe it's acceptable for the first "real" hotplug command to timeout.
Subsequent commands shouldn't have any problems.

Or, since the actual hotplug events where we do change (EIC, PCC, PIC, AIC)
normally occur long after boot, maybe we could avoid the timeout by noting
the time when the initialization command (to set DLLSCE, ABPE, etc.) was
issued.  It's very likely that the next command will be more than 1000 msec
later, so there's no point in waiting for another timeout period.

I don't understand this change.  Why do you test "slot_status &
PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_CC" here?  Did you mean to write this:

  if (!ctrl->no_cmd_complete && !(slot_status & PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_CC) && ...

instead?  I think we want to wait if (1) the controller generates Command
Complete events and (2) Slot Status indicates that a command is still in
progress.
