Re: [PATCH 03/19] lpfc: remove unnecessary read of PCI_CAP_ID_EXP

Jon,

I must NACK this patch to the lpfc driver and recommend that all other patches which replace pci_find_capability(pdef, PCI_CAP_ID_EXP) with "pci_is_pcie(pdev)" are NACK'd as well.

The reason is due to an issue on PPC platforms whereby use of "pdev->is_pcie" and pci_is_pcie() will erroneously fail under some conditions, but explicit search for the capability struct via pci_find_capability() is always successful. I expect this to be due a shadowing of pci config space in the hal/platform that isn't sufficiently built up. We detected this issue while testing AER/EEH, and are functional only if the pci_find_capability() option is used.

The PCIE capability offset is saved during PCI bus walking.  It will
remove an unnecessary search in the PCI configuration space if this
value is referenced instead of reacquiring it.  Also, pci_is_pcie is a
better way of determining if the device is PCIE or not (as it uses the
same saved PCIE capability offset).
