During surprise hot-unplug the device is not accessible anymore and register reads return 0xffffffff. When that happens pciehp_unconfigure_device() may inadvertently think the device below the bridge may be a display device of somesort as reading PCI_BRIDGE_CONTROL register also returns 0xff. This results failure of the remove operation: pciehp 0000:00:1c.0:pcie004: Slot(0): Link Down pciehp 0000:00:1c.0:pcie004: Slot(0): Card present pciehp 0000:00:1c.0:pcie004: Cannot remove display device 0000:01:00.0 Because of this the hierarchy is left untouched preventing further hotplug operations. Now, it is not clear why the check is there in the first place and why we would like to prevent removing a bridge if it has PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA set. In case of surprise hot-unplug, it would not even be possible to prevent the removal. It may be due to the fact that pciehp_pci.c pretty much copies similar implementation from shpchp_pci.c and this check was just left there in the code without further thinking if it is actually needed at all. Given this and the issue described above, I think it makes sense to drop the whole PCI_BRIDGE_CONTROL check from pciehp_unconfigure_device() which is what this patch does.
