* pci/bjorn-p2p-bridge-windows:
sparc/PCI: replace pci_cfg_fake_ranges() with pci_read_bridge_bases()
PCI: support sizing P2P bridge I/O windows with 1K granularity
PCI: reimplement P2P bridge 1K I/O windows (Intel P64H2)
PCI: allow P2P bridge windows starting at PCI bus address zero
Conflicts:
drivers/pci/probe.c
include/linux/pci.h
9d265124d0 and 15a260d53f added quirks for P2P bridges that support
I/O windows that start/end at 1K boundaries, not just the 4K boundaries
defined by the PCI spec. For details, see the IOBL_ADR register and the
EN1K bit in the CNF register in the Intel 82870P2 (P64H2).
These quirks complicate the code that reads P2P bridge windows
(pci_read_bridge_io() and pci_cfg_fake_ranges()) because the bridge
I/O resource is updated in the HEADER quirk, in pci_read_bridge_io(),
in pci_setup_bridge(), and again in the FINAL quirk. This is confusing
and makes it impossible to reassign the bridge windows after FINAL
quirks are run.
This patch adds support for 1K windows in the generic paths, so the
HEADER quirk only has to enable this support. The FINAL quirk, which
used to undo damage done by pci_setup_bridge(), is no longer needed.
This removes "if (!res->start) res->start = ..." from pci_read_bridge_io();
that was part of 9d265124d0 to avoid overwriting the resource filled in
by the quirk. Since pci_read_bridge_io() itself now knows about
granularity, the quirk no longer updates the resource and this test is no
longer needed.

* topic/huang-d3cold-v7:
PCI/PM: add PCIe runtime D3cold support
PCI: do not call pci_set_power_state with PCI_D3cold
PCI/PM: add runtime PM support to PCIe port
ACPI/PM: specify lowest allowed state for device sleep state
This patch adds runtime D3cold support and corresponding ACPI platform
support. This patch only enables runtime D3cold support; it does not
enable D3cold support during system suspend/hibernate.
D3cold is the deepest power saving state for a PCIe device, where its main
power is removed. While it is in D3cold, you can't access the device at
all, not even its configuration space (which is still accessible in D3hot).
Therefore the PCI PM registers can not be used to transition into/out of
the D3cold state; that must be done by platform logic such as ACPI _PR3.
To support wakeup from D3cold, a system may provide auxiliary power, which
allows a device to request wakeup using a Beacon or the sideband WAKE#
signal. WAKE# is usually connected to platform logic such as ACPI GPE.
This is quite different from other power saving states, where devices
request wakeup via a PME message on the PCIe link.
Some devices, such as those in plug-in slots, have no direct platform
logic. For example, there is usually no ACPI _PR3 for them. D3cold
support for these devices can be done via the PCIe Downstream Port leading
to the device. When the PCIe port is powered on/off, the device is powered
on/off too. Wakeup events from the device will be notified to the
corresponding PCIe port.
For more information about PCIe D3cold and corresponding ACPI support,
please refer to:
- PCI Express Base Specification Revision 2.0
- Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Specification Revision 5.0

Lower device sleep state can save more power, but has more exit
latency too. Sometimes, to satisfy some power QoS and other
requirement, we need to constrain the lowest device sleep state.
In this patch, a parameter to specify lowest allowed state for
acpi_pm_device_sleep_state is added. So that the caller can enforce
the constraint via the parameter.
This is needed by PCIe D3cold support, where the lowest power state
allowed may be D3_HOT instead of default D3_COLD.

In a PCI environment, transactions aren't always required to reach
the root bus before being re-routed. Intermediate switches between
an endpoint and the root bus can redirect DMA back downstream before
things like IOMMUs have a chance to intervene. Legacy PCI is always
susceptible to this as it operates on a shared bus. PCIe added a
new capability to describe and control this behavior, Access Control
Services, or ACS.
The utility function pci_acs_enabled() allows us to test the ACS
capabilities of an individual devices against a set of flags while
pci_acs_path_enabled() tests a complete path from a given downstream
device up to the specified upstream device. We also include the
ability to add device specific tests as it's likely we'll see
devices that do not implement ACS, but want to indicate support
for various capabilities in this space.

This patch resolves potential issues when accessing PCI Express
Capability structures. The makeup of the capability varies
substantially between v1 and v2:
Version 1 of the PCI Express Capability (defined by PCI Express
1.0 and 1.1 base) neither requires the endpoint to implement the
entire PCIe capability structure nor specifies default values of
registers that are not implemented by the device.
Version 2 of the PCI Express Capability (defined by PCIe 1.1
Capability Structure Expansion ECN, PCIe 2.0, 2.1, and 3.0) added
additional registers to the structure and requires all registers
to be either implemented or hardwired to 0.
Due to the differences in the capability structures, code dealing with
capability features must be careful not to access the additional
registers introduced with v2 unless the device is specifically known to
be a v2 capable device. Otherwise, attempts to access non-existant
registers will occur. This is a subtle issue that is hard to track down
when it occurs (and it has - see commit 864d296cf9).
To try and help mitigate such occurrences, this patch introduces
pci_pcie_cap2() which is similar to pci_pcie_cap() but also checks
that the PCIe capability version is >= 2. pci_pcie_cap2() should be
used for qualifying PCIe capability features introduced after v1.

DMA transactions are tagged with the source ID of the device making
the request. Occasionally hardware screws this up and uses the
source ID of a different device (often the wrong function number of
a multifunction device). A specific Ricoh multifunction device is
a prime example of this problem and included in this patch.
Given a pci_dev, this function returns the pci_dev to use as the
source ID for DMA. When hardware works correctly, this returns
the input device. For the components of the Ricoh multifunction
device, it returns the pci_dev for function 0.
This will be used by IOMMU drivers for determining the boundaries
of IOMMU groups as multiple devices using the same source ID must
be contained within the same group. This can also be used by
existing streaming DMA paths for the same purpose.

We also loop through the initcall levels and call the levelled
module_params before the corresponding initcall. Unfortunately level
0 is early_init(), so we call the standard module_param calls twice.
(Turns out most things don't care, but at least ubi.mtd does).
