Hi Ian,

you patch looks better than the hack Broadcom did in their vendor driver.

Could you send me a lspci output or the content of /proc/bus/pci/devices
of the original firmware or of OpenWrt with your patch applied? I would
prefer lspci because it is easier to read but cat from
/proc/bus/pci/devices also works. I do not have such a device and want
to understand how this PCIe switch looks like on the software side, so
we can fix the domain, bus, slot, function mixup.

On the hardware side this SoC has 3 PCIe controllers, but one shares a
PHY with the USB 3.0 controller. Instead of using the 3rd PCIe
controller they used USB 3.0 and split one of the PCIe controllers into
2 PCIE lanes.

If someone else has an Netgear R8000 or any other device with this PCIe
switch also feel free to send some information about the PCIe switch.

Hauke
