It is not possible to use a single variant identifier consistently,
i.e., 'pcie->type'. Many of these features are controller revision
specific, and certain revisions of the controllers may all have a
certain feature, while other revisions of the controllers do not. In
addition, there are overlap in features across different controllers.

IMO, it makes sense to have feature specific flags or booleans, and have
those features enabled or disabled based on 'pcie->type', which is what
the current driver does, but like you pointed out, what the driver
failed is to do this consistently.

The IPROC_PCIE_INTX_EN example you pointed out is a good example. I
agree with you that we shouldn't rely on iproc_pcie_write_reg to
silently drop the operation for PAXC. We should add code to make it
explictly obvious that legacy interrupt is not supported in all PAXC
controllers.

pcie->pcie->reg_offsets[] scheme was not intended to be used to silently
drop register access that are activated based on features. It's a
mistake that should be fixed if some code in the driver is done that
way, as you pointed out. The intention of reg_offsets[] is to allow many
of the code in this driver be made generic, and shared between different
revisions of the driver.

Thanks,

Ray
