But if it's for the host itself, there are usually other ways to
do this without needing a fixup: you already have the device structure
present in the driver, so you should just be able to modify it there.


I'm looking at the code in your fixups now:

+static void altera_pcie_retrain(struct pci_dev *dev)
+{
+       u16 linkcap, linkstat;
+
+       /*
+        * Set the retrain bit if the PCIe rootport support > 2.5GB/s, but
+        * current speed is 2.5 GB/s.
+        */
+       pcie_capability_read_word(dev, PCI_EXP_LNKCAP, &linkcap);
+
+       if ((linkcap & PCI_EXP_LNKCAP_SLS) <= PCI_EXP_LNKCAP_SLS_2_5GB)
+               return;
+
+       pcie_capability_read_word(dev, PCI_EXP_LNKSTA, &linkstat);
+       if ((linkstat & PCI_EXP_LNKSTA_CLS) == PCI_EXP_LNKSTA_CLS_2_5GB)
+               pcie_capability_set_word(dev, PCI_EXP_LNKCTL,
+                                        PCI_EXP_LNKCTL_RL);
+}
+DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_EARLY(PCI_VENDOR_ID_ALTERA, PCI_ANY_ID, altera_pcie_retrain);

This looks related to the code in pci_set_bus_speed(). What is
missing from that code?

+static void altera_pcie_fixup_res(struct pci_dev *dev)
+{
+       /*
+        * Prevent enumeration of root port.
+        */
+       if (!dev->bus->parent && dev->devfn == 0) {
+               int i;
+
+               for (i = 0; i < PCI_NUM_RESOURCES; i++) {
+                       dev->resource[i].start = 0;
+                       dev->resource[i].end   = 0;
+                       dev->resource[i].flags   = 0;
+               }
+       }
+}
+DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_HEADER(PCI_VENDOR_ID_ALTERA, PCI_ANY_ID,
+                        altera_pcie_fixup_res);

This seems really odd, too. Why is this needed?
I think I've seen similar code in other host drivers, so
it might be time to teach the PCI core about this kind of
device.
