Hi Arnd,

Yes we already discussed about that:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg393705.html

We can probably improve the abort handling once the patch below will be merged
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2015-August/366215.html

As imx6 does the same, does it sound reasonable to keep this approach
of the st driver and start discussing about generic way to handle
abort for DW pci driver ?

Best regards

Gabriel
