Hum.. This is a bit funny sounding, can you confirm..

The bus number programmed into all the end points must match the Linux
number. Ie the PCI-E Link Description register of end point devices
must report the same bus number as Linux. PCI-E devices learn their
bus number by capturing the bus number from type 0 configuration
transactions.

For the most part config transactions issued to the PCI-E controllers
should be type 0 transactions with a bus number that matches what
Linux is setting.

The only time I think you'd ever see bus number 0 is when accessing
the config space of the Marvell PCI-E controller end port. But, I also
think you can avoid doing these transactions by just accessing the MMIO
versions of those registers..
