Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Enumerate switches below PCI-to-PCIe bridges

PCI: Enumerate switches below PCI-to-PCIe bridges

A PCI-to-PCIe bridge (a "reverse bridge") has a PCI or PCI-X primary
interface and a PCI Express secondary interface.  The PCIe interface is a
Downstream Port that originates a Link.  See the "PCI Express to PCI/PCI-X
Bridge Specification", rev 1.0, sections 1.2 and A.6.

The bug report below involves a PCI-to-PCIe bridge and a PCIe switch below
the bridge:

  00:1e.0 Intel 82801 PCI Bridge to [bus 01-0a]
  01:00.0 Pericom PI7C9X111SL PCIe-to-PCI Reversible Bridge to [bus 02-0a]
  02:00.0 Pericom Device 8608 [PCIe Upstream Port] to [bus 03-0a]
  03:01.0 Pericom Device 8608 [PCIe Downstream Port] to [bus 0a]

01:00.0 is configured as a PCI-to-PCIe bridge (despite the name printed by
lspci).  As we traverse a PCIe hierarchy, device connections alternate
between PCIe Links and internal Switch logic.  Previously we did not
recognize that 01:00.0 had a secondary link, so we thought the 02:00.0
Upstream Port *did* have a secondary link.  In fact, it's the other way
around: 01:00.0 has a secondary link, and 02:00.0 has internal Switch logic
on its secondary side.

When we thought 02:00.0 had a secondary link, the pci_scan_slot() ->
only_one_child() path assumed 02:00.0 could have only one child, so 03:00.0
was the only possible downstream device.  But 03:00.0 doesn't exist, so we
didn't look for any other devices on bus 03.

Booting with "pci=pcie_scan_all" is a workaround, but we don't want users
to have to do that.

Recognize that PCI-to-PCIe bridges originate links on their secondary
interfaces.
