From: Bjorn Helgaas bhelgaas@google.com
[ Upstream commit 977509f7c5c6fb992ffcdf4291051af343b91645 ]
Previously we didn't check the type of device before trying to apply Type 1 (PCI-X) or Type 2 (PCIe) Setting Records from _HPX.
We don't support PCI-X Setting Records, so this was harmless, but the warning was useless.
We do support PCIe Setting Records, and we didn't check whether a device was PCIe before applying settings. I don't think anything bad happened on non-PCIe devices because pcie_capability_clear_and_set_word(), pcie_cap_has_lnkctl(), etc., would fail before doing any harm. But it's ugly to depend on those internals.
Check the device type before attempting to apply Type 1 and Type 2 Setting Records (Type 0 records are applicable to PCI, PCI-X, and PCIe devices).
A side benefit is that this prevents useless "not supported" warnings when a BIOS supplies a Type 1 (PCI-X) Setting Record and we try to apply it to every single device:
pci 0000:00:00.0: PCI-X settings not supported
After this patch, we'll get the warning only when a BIOS supplies a Type 1 record and we have a PCI-X device to which it should be applied.
