In older PCIe specs, PDS (presence detect) would come up when the "in-band" presence detect pin connected, and would be up before DLLLA (link active). In PCIe 4.0 (as an ECN) and in PCIe 5.0, there is a new bit to show if in-band presence detection can be disabled for the slot, and another bit that disables it--and a recommendation that it should be disabled if it can be. In addition, certain OEMs disable in-band presence detection without implementing these bits. This means it is possible to get a "card present" interrupt after the link is up and the driver is loaded. This causes an erroneous removal of the device driver, followed by an immediate re-probing. This patch set defines these new bits, uses them to disable in-band presence detection if it can be, waits for PDS to go up if in-band presence detection is disabled, and adds a DMI table that will let us know if we should assume in-band presence is disabled on a system. This patch set is based on a patch set [1] submitted many months ago by Alexandru Gagniuc, who is no longer working on it.
