In commit eed85ff4c0da7 ("PCI/DPC: Enable DPC only if AER is available"),
the behavior was changed such that native (kernel) handling of DPC
got tied to whether the kernel also handled AER. While this is what
the standard recommends, there are BIOSes out there that lack the DPC
handling since it was never required in the past.
Some systems do not grant OS control of AER via _OSC.  I guess the
problem is that on those systems, the OS DPC driver used to work, but
after eed85ff4c0da7, it does not.  Right?

I need some clarification on this issue. Do you mean in these systems,
firmware expects OS to handle DPC and AER, but it does not let OS know
about it via _OSC ?


We should also update negotiate_os_control() to request control of DPC
via _OSC.  Kuppuswamy's patch [1] does that but hasn't been merged
yet.  That will conflict with this, but I can resolve that.

I applied this as below (with the nits Keith noticed) to pci/aer for
v5.5, thanks!

     PCI/DPC: Add "pcie_ports=dpc-native" to allow DPC without AER control
Prior to eed85ff4c0da7 ("PCI/DPC: Enable DPC only if AER is available"),
     Linux handled DPC events regardless of whether firmware had granted it
     ownership of AER or DPC, e.g., via _OSC.
PCIe r5.0, sec 6.2.10, recommends that the OS link control of DPC to
     control of AER, so after eed85ff4c0da7, Linux handles DPC events only if it
     has control of AER.
On platforms that do not grant OS control of AER via _OSC, Linux DPC
     handling worked before eed85ff4c0da7 but not after.
To make Linux DPC handling work on those platforms the same way they did
     before, add a "pcie_ports=dpc-native" kernel parameter that makes Linux
     handle DPC events regardless of whether it has control of AER.
