I see your point. I don't understand the _v7, though.
Reading PCI Express spec 7.0 section 6.15.3.1 where for root ports
basically just 3 combinations are specified:
- No support (all 3 sizes off)
- Basic support (32-bit and 64-bit supported)
- Full support (Base + 128-bit CAS supported)
I would propose to add the following combined defines to
include/uapi/linux/pci_regs.h - and then use them here:
#PCI_EXP_RP_ATOMIC_COMP_BASE(_SUPPORT) to be the "or" of _COMP32 and
_COMP64 and
#PCI_EXP_RP_ATOMIC_COMP_FULL(_SUPPORT) to include also 128-bit
But I guess that becomes a PCI question then. @Bjorn?
