RE: [PATCH 2/5] PCI: pciehp: check and wait port status out of DPC before handling DLLSC and PDC

[Zhao, Haifeng]

Andy, 

    About the ICX code name, I will align it to public documentation in next version.
' non-relevant information'  about the crash, I'm not sure what's not relevant. 

Thanks,
Ethan

Please, try to remove non-relevant information from the crashes.

Not sure if Bjorn require to get rid of "this patch" from commit messages... In any case it's written in documentation.
