[PATCH v3 2/2] PCI: dwc: ep: Mirror the max link width and speed fields to all functions

From: Aksh Garg

Date: Tue Feb 24 2026 - 03:40:35 EST


PCIe r7.0, section 7.5.3.6 states that for multi-function devices, the
Max Link Width and Max Link Speed fields in the Link Capabilities
Register must report the same values for all functions.

Currently, dw_pcie_setup() programs these fields only for Function 0
via dw_pcie_link_set_max_speed() and dw_pcie_link_set_max_link_width().
For multi-function endpoint configurations, Function 1 and beyond retain
their default values, violating the PCIe specification.

Fix this by reading the Max Link Width and Max Link Speed fields from
Link Capabilities Register of Function 0 after dw_pcie_setup() completes,
then mirroring these values to all other functions.

Fixes: 24ede430fa49 ("PCI: designware-ep: Add multiple PFs support for DWC")
Fixes: 89db0793c9f2 ("PCI: dwc: Add missing PCI_EXP_LNKCAP_MLW handling")

The link speed and width would be negotiated through PF0 during
initialization that controls the link behaviour, hence it didn't broke
the driver. However, the change is proposed just to make the driver
compatible with the PCIe base specifications.

The fix is implemented in pcie-designware-ep.c rather than modifying
dw_pcie_setup() directly to keep pcie-designware.c independent of RC/EP
specifics and maintain it as common code.

Changes from v2 to v3:
- Wrapped the patches to fit within 80 columns
- Updated the term 'physical function' to 'Function'

Changes from v1 to v2:
- Used FIELD_* macros
