Notice two systems with different cpu hve different print out when power on slots: First one: pciehp 0000:60:03.2:pcie004: pciehp_green_led_on: SLOTCTRL a8 write cmd 100 pciehp 0000:60:03.2:pcie004: pciehp_set_attention_status: SLOTCTRL a8 write cmd c0 pciehp 0000:60:03.2:pcie004: pending interrupts 0x0010 from Slot Status Second one: pciehp 0000:73:00.0:pcie004: pciehp_green_led_on: SLOTCTRL a8 write cmd 100 pciehp 0000:73:00.0:pcie004: pciehp_set_attention_status: SLOTCTRL a8 write cmd c0 pciehp 0000:73:00.0:pcie004: pending interrupts 0x0010 from Slot Status pciehp 0000:73:00.0:pcie004: pending interrupts 0x0010 from Slot Status Actually attention is not changed on both. First one will not generate CC if write not change cmd. Second one will generate CC even if write not change cmd. To avoid those difference interrupts, check if we are trying to write same cmd, if so skip writing.
