Thanks for having a look. Here's the situation.

IIUC, bus 0 will always be the PCIe host bridge.
On bus 0, reads outside of devfn 0 return garbage.
I think (?) this is not an issue, because the host bridge
is not multi-function.

There is a /separate/ erratum for bus 1. The HW returns
garbage when enumerating non-existent devfn.
IIUC, there is an OOB SoC-specific error-reporting mechanism,
so it might be possible to check for an error after every read,
and replace the garbage with -1u on error.

The errata list does not mention buses > 1 but I would assume
they are, at a minimum, affected by the "bus 1" errata --
such setups were not tested at all. (It would require some
kind of PCIe switch, I suppose.)

As a first-order approximation, I just conflated the two
errata, and ignored multi-function EPs.

NB: the "typical" use-case for the PCIe slot is adding a validated
WiFi card, because the SoC doesn't support WiFi natively.
Some customers also consider using a USB3 card, instead of the
native USB2 Chipidea controller.

Regards.
