Regression in ssb pcicore with SoC

[Hauke Mehrtens]

Hi Rafał,

I tried linux-3.0-rc4 on my Asus WL-500GP and got a kernel panic because
of a data bus error. This was caused by this commit you made:

commit af335a6cbc3dfcba64ad31561c0da563d1c43a2d

    ssb: pci: early fix for SPROM core index

My device has an PCI controller, in host mode and this device does not
have a sprom in its address space, so ssb_pcicore_fix_sprom_core_index()
should be be called. I tried to find the same function in Broadcom
source, but did not had success.

In the Broadcom open source code the pci init is done in
./driver/nicpci.c and all calls to sporm are done through
pcie_war_pci_setup() which is our ssb_pcicore_pcie_setup_workarounds()
in ssb. I think ssb_pcicore_fix_sprom_core_index() should be called from
somewhere in ssb_pcicore_pcie_setup_workarounds().

Could you please explain what you want to fix in
ssb_pcicore_fix_sprom_core_index() ?.

I will have a closer look at it tomorrow evening.

Hauke
