Hi Arnd,
Happy New Year !! I don't think there is anything you are missing, I
think that's an issue. A possible solution would consist in selecting
PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC (the OF code should fall back to using a counter for
PCI domains - which should do the trick), I'd rather avoid adding back
an arch/arm hook to set-up the domain number
Please let me know how we can handle this, thanks a lot for spotting
it.
Lorenzo
