The question is what the relevant switch is. We call pci_enable_acs()

on get_upstream_bridge_port() to filter out some things. I don't
think get_upstream_bridge_port() is doing the right thing, so we need
to sort that out first, I guess.

Yes, well if a port has an upstream bridge port and that port has an upstream bridge port we are almost certainly looking at a port in a switch. If you have a better suggestion to only disable ACS bits on downstream switch ports I'd be happy to consider it.


This might be a good start, but whatever the implications are, they
need to be distilled and made clear directly in the changelog and the
Kconfig help text.

Well, I tried. I'll expand on it for v3.
