I've updated the MV78230 hardware datasheet that we had, and indeed the
latest version available has this correct: MV78230 has PCIe 0.0, 0.1,
0.2, 0.3 and 1.0, which means a x4/x1 PCIe interface and a x1 one. The
"1.1" and "1.2" indicated in an earlier version of the datasheet were a
mistake, apparently.
Bottom line: it means that the patch you submitted and that I Acked-by
a few minutes ago is correct.
Best regards,
Thomas
