[PATCH] Fix PCI error token awkward value
From: Linas Vepstas
Date: Thu Jul 06 2006 - 17:59:40 EST
The pci channel state token currently has a poor choice of values;
there are two ways of indicating that "everything's OK": 0 and 1.
This is a bit of a burden.
If a devce driver wants to check if the pci channel is in a working
or a disconnected state, the driver writer must perform checks similar
to
if((pdev->error_state != 0) &&
(pdev->error_state != pci_channel_io_normal)) {
whatever();
}
which is rather akward. The first check is needed because
stuct pci_dev is inited to all-zeros. The scond is needed
because the error recovery will set the state to
pci_channel_io_normal (which is not zero).
This patch fixes this awkwardness.
