I would expect these URs to happen when enumerating below *all* PCIe
Root Ports (not just when switches are present), and Master Aborts
should happen in conventional PCI.

Similarly, I don't think Firmware-First is relevant here. Only the
fact that the OS owns PCI_SEC_STATUS because there's no mechanism to
negotiate for platform ownership of it.

We're in the merge window right now, so we'll start merging v6.9
material after v6.8-rc1 is tagged.
