Subject: pci-quirks: unhide 'Overflow' device on i828{6,7}5P/PE chipsets
From: Michal Miroslaw <mirq-linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
As I found out from EDAC driver sources for i82875P some BIOSes for
i82875P/PE hide 'overflow' device 6. The same thing happens for
i82865P/PE chipsets.
After testing this patch for couple of days on my laptop (i82856P) it
looks like something is resetting device 0 (MCH) config register 0xF4 to
zero and effectively disabling the device again. The delay looks random
to me. I can easily update the register using 'hexedit
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:00.0/config' and see correct values in
lspci output afterwards.
