Hi,

Appreciate the response.

I think the short answer is that if there are PCI operation regions in
the AML on the platform then the kernel will need to be built with PCI
support (CONFIG_PCI) and if it isn't then there won't be a handler
installed and the operation will error.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems the intention of the patch series:

36ad7d2b9e9b ACPI: Move PCI reset to a separate function
86689776878f ACPI: Allow CONFIG_PCI to be unset for reboot
bd23fac3eaaa ACPICA: Remove PCI bits from ACPICA when CONFIG_PCI is
unset
5d32a66541c4 PCI/ACPI: Allow ACPI to be built without CONFIG_PCI set

was to decouple the dependency between CONFIG_PCI and CONFIG_ACPI.

bd23fac3eaaa ("ACPICA: Remove PCI bits from ACPICA when CONFIG_PCI is
unset") added an ifdef around the code to install the handler for the
PCI CONFIG region making it dependent on ACPI_PCI_CONFIGURED (and thus
CONFIG_PCI). Thus it is not possible to install the default handler for
the PCI CONFIG region unless CONFIG_PCI is set meaning it makes no
sense to have it in the list of default address spaces.

I can gather that this leads to 2 possibilities:

1. If there are PCI operation regions in the AML on the platform then
these will error on a kernel not compiled with CONFIG_PCI.

or,

2. The code to install the handler for the PCI CONFIG region should not
be ifdef'ed and should be executed irrespective of if the kernel is
compiled with CONFIG_PCI to allow for PCI CONFIG regions in the AML.

Thanks
