PCI: pciehp: Remove assumptions about which commands cause completion events
We use incorrect logic to decide whether a PCIe hotplug controller generates command completion events. 5808639bfa98 ("pciehp: fix slow probing") assumed that the Slot Status "Command Completed" bit was set only for commands affecting slot power, indicators, or electromechanical interlock. That assumption is false: per sec. 6.7.3.2 of PCIe spec r3.0, a write targeting any portion of the Slot Control register is a command, and (if command completed events are supported) software must wait for a command to complete before issuing the next command. 5808639bfa98 was to fix boot-time timeouts (see bugzilla below) on a Lenovo Thinkpad R61 with an Intel hotplug controller. The controller probably has the Intel CF118 erratum, which means it doesn't report Command Completed unless the Slot Control power, indicator, or interlock bits are changed. This causes a timeout because pciehp always waits for Command Complete (if supported), regardless of which bits are changed. Remove the incorrect logic because the timeouts have been addressed differently by these changes: PCI: pciehp: Wait for hotplug command completion lazily PCI: pciehp: Compute timeout from hotplug command start time Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10751 Tested-by: Rajat Jain <rajatxjain@gmail.com> (IDT 807a controller) Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com> Acked-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org>
