Seeking information about LKMP Project - "Linux PCI - Remove driver-local definitions of standard PCI symbols"

Quoted 5 lines · Puranjay Mohan

Hello,
I wanted to get a few things clarified in relation to the aforementioned project in the subject.

The description of the project states that some drivers define their own copies of PCI_COMMAND, PCI_STATUS, etc.

Quoted 8 lines

If we remove these definitions,
then for the driver to work it has to include "include/uapi/linux/pci_regs.h",
so should we also add the include statement in the driver source code or it is already included by some other way.

Kindly help me resolve this confusion as I am a beginner at this. If the question sounds wrong or lame, please forgive me.
I want to work on this project as a part of the Linux kernel mentorship program.

Hi Puranjay,

Are you interested in working on a PCI project? These projects listed on the project page are the ones mentees will work on once they have been selected after the application process is complete.

I just want to make sure you aren't working on these projects yet. You have several required contributions to complete to complete the application process.

thanks,
