Jan,

One quick update on pcie_flr() specific implementation. Please see below.

I exchanged some emails with Bjorn/Christoph and it looks like Christoph
as some planto restructure pcie flr specific functions but I don't know
the exact time-frame. For now,I am planning to use existing pcie_flr()
after checking FLR capability. We will switchto revised pcie_flr() once
it is available.

I hope you are fine with this approach. Please let me know. Thanks.

Cheers
