Subject: pci-e: ignore unknown capability and continue searching
From: "Zhang, Yanmin" <yanmin_zhang@...ux.intel.com>


Tomasz reported AER driver couldn't work on his machine. With the output
of "lcpsi -vvv", I found the root port's extended capabilities are
         Capabilities: [100] Unknown (11)
         Capabilities: [150] Advanced Error Reporting
         Capabilities: [190] Unknown (13)
Such Unknown capability is not expected. During pci-e initialization,function
get_port_device_capability just returns if it hits an unknown capability when
searching the AER capability.

I worked out a patch against 2.6.27-rc7. When hitting an unkown capability,
function get_port_device_capability continues the searching.

Tomasz tested it and the patch does work well.
