[PATCH 1/2] ACPI: PCI: Clear _DEP dependencies after PCI root bridge attach

From: Chen Pei

Date: Mon May 25 2026 - 22:51:58 EST


PCI root bridges enumerated by acpi_pci_root_add() can be the _DEP
supplier for other ACPI consumers, most notably ACPI0017 CXL root
devices whose probe path depends on acpi_pci_find_root() succeeding.
Once the root bus has been added, those consumers can safely be
enumerated, so notify them by clearing the dependency.

Call acpi_dev_clear_dependencies() at the end of acpi_pci_root_add(),
after pci_bus_add_devices(), following the same pattern used by other
ACPI suppliers such as the EC (drivers/acpi/ec.c) and the ACPI PCI
Link device (drivers/acpi/pci_link.c). The clear is intentionally
done only on the success path; on the error paths the supplier did
not attach and consumers must keep dep_unmet set.

This is a prerequisite for honoring _DEP on ACPI0016 host bridges,
which matters on architectures where the probe order of acpi_pci_root
relative to cxl_acpi is not guaranteed (e.g. RISC-V).
