[PATCH RFC v2 2/5] PCI: pciehp: Add pci_hp_wait_link_change()

From: Abhin Parekadan Jose

Date: Sun Sep 27 2026 - 12:55:35 EST


pci_hp_spurious_link_change() awaits the end of a code section causing
spurious link changes, such as a Secondary Bus Reset, and then tells
whether such a section has executed, using test_and_clear_bit() on
PCI_LINK_CHANGED. The answer is one-shot: only the first caller sees
true.

Split the wait out into pci_hp_wait_link_change(), which leaves
PCI_LINK_CHANGED alone, and implement pci_hp_spurious_link_change() on
top of it. No functional change intended.
