  You can go ahead and leave my name on since I'm the person who found and diagnosed the problem (with help from others inside Chelsio).

  If anyone on the Linux PCI List knows anyone at AMD who'd be willing to respond it would be great, but as I noted earlier, I think that AMD has effectively abandoned the A1100 ("Seattle") ARM SoC, so I doubt if we'll get anyone from AMD to even comment now.
