That's an option. I was thinking making pci_enable_device() itself
enable bus master on a bridge but yes, you approach should work.

I'm digging a bit more to figure out what went wrong in the
pcie port driver since that's interesting in its own right and I'll then
test your patch which I think is a more robust approach.

Cheers,
Ben.
