Cover letter [PATCH v5 0/9] ARM: PCI: kill pcibios_msi_controller()
Quoted 8 lines · Bjorn Helgaas

The first 5 patches here are essentially the same as Lorenzo's v4 posting at
http://lkml.kernel.org/1438169598-24490-1-git-send-email-lorenzo.pieralisi at arm.com

I added some at the end to fix what look like some X-Gene bugs to me, and to make X-Gene use pci_scan_root_bus_msi() like the other drivers that use msi_controller.

Quoted 5 lines

v4->v5 changes:
- Declare pci_scan_root_bus_msi() in drivers/pci/pci.h instead of include/linux/pci.h. I like the idea, but I hope we can replace this and other "scan_root_bus" interfaces with a single, more-generic interface, so I'd rather not expose this one widely.

This is one thing I screwed up already. pci_scan_root_bus_msi() can't be declared in drivers/pci/pci.h because that's not visible to arch/arm/kernel/bios32.c.

In case anybody wants to try it, I updated the branch here:
