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
