If the firmware has not assigned all the bus resources and
we are not just probing the PCIe busses, it makes sense to
assign the unassigned resources in pci_scan_root_bus().

Bjorn,

If you are OK with this patch, can you let me know how do you feel about
making pci_scan_root_bus() set up the bus->msi pointer as well?

I'm not opposed to it, but I have the same question as for setting up
the domain: how does pci_scan_root_bus() learn what to assign to
bus->msi? It currently only gets a "void *sysdata" so there's no
obvious place to put it there. You could add a pcibios interface to
retrieve it, I suppose, but I'm starting to get uncomfortable with
adding more of those because we have such a mess of them already.

Bjorn

[Suravee] Liviu and I had a talk during Linaro Connect, and we came up
with a new binding for the pcie controller called "msi-parent" which is
supposed to contain phandle to the corresponded msi-controller.


Side note: I don't know exactly how to do it now, but setting bus->msi is
needed by platforms that are based on my patches and want to use MSI,
otherwise they have to open code pci_scan_root_bus() to set it. I haven't
made any attempts to do it in this series as the GICv2m patches are not
ready yet, but I can see the need arriving soon.

[Suravee] I just sent out an RFC which implements the described binding here.

Any feedback/comments are welcome :)

Thanks,

Suravee
