Ah, I'm getting my PCI versions mixed up, that all sounds right to me
then..

.. and I'm blind, looks good.

This is how the OF stuff for PCI has historically been used, so it is
a nice OS-agnostic way to implement this work around, particularly if
you have some kind of daughter card specific information you can rely
on (eg a SPD that could indicate the problematic PCB revision)

If you do that you could also hoist the required fixup for your switch
into firmware too.

You can probably make this work, but given there is already a DT based
fix I'm not sure if people will like a .c version, especially if it
requires more single-use 'general purpose' interfaces from the core
code...
