[PATCH] PCI/NPEM: Set LED_HW_PLUGGABLE for hotplug-capable ports
From: Richard Cheng
Date: Thu Apr 02 2026 - 05:46:35 EST
NPEM registers LED classdevs on PCI endpoint that may be behind
hotplug-capable ports. During hot-removal, led_classdev_unregister()
calls led_set_brightness(LED_OFF) which PCI config on a disconnected
device, returning -ENODEV:
```
leds 0003:01:00.0:enclosure:ok: Setting an LED's brightness failed (-19)
```
The LED core already suppresses this for devices with LED_HW_PLUGGABLE
set, but NPEM never sets it. Add the flag since NPEM LEDs are on
hot-pluggable hardware by nature.

The bug was triggered on an ARM64 machine with CPU model Olympus.
Kernel version is v6.17.
The PCI topology is

We're targeting on 0003:01:00.0 CXL [0502]: Montage Technology Co., Ltd. Device [1b00:c002] (rev 03).
First use `sudo setpci -s 0003:00:00.0 0x1f4.w=0x0002` to set UnmaskLinkDisable in CXL DVSEC.
Then disable the link with `sudo setpci -v -s 0003:00:00.0 CAP_EXP+0x10.b=0x10:0x10`
Best regards,
Richard Cheng.
