There is a sanity checker in the end of pci_scan_child_bus_extend() that tries to detect badly configured bridges. For example given the below topology: +-1b.0-[01-39]----00.0-[02-3a]--+-00.0-[03]----00.0 +-01.0-[04-39]-- \-02.0-[3a]----00.0 The sanity checker notices this and logs following messages: pci_bus 0000:3a: [bus 3a] partially hidden behind bridge 0000:02 [bus 02-39] pci_bus 0000:3a: [bus 3a] partially hidden behind bridge 0000:01 [bus 01-39] This is not really helpful to users and the information above is not even correct (0000:02 is a bus not bridge). Make this a bit more understandable by changing the sanity checker to log following message in place of the above two messages: pci 0000:02:02.0: devices behind bridge are unusable, because [bus 3a] cannot be assigned for them While there update the comment on top of the sanity checker block to make it clear that it is not only restricted to CardBus.
