Yes, as per Spec, CRS Software Visibility only affects config read of
the Vendor ID.
For config write or any other config read the Root must automatically
re-issue configuration
request again as a new request, and our PCIe RC fails to do so.

when I meant NAK, I meant CRS, will change the description, and will take
care of using appropriate PCIe terminology.

For config write or any other config read the Root must automatically
re-issue configuration
request again as a new request, iproc based PCIe RC does not adhere to
this, and also
our PCI-to-AXI bridge (internal), which returns code 0xffff0001 to CPU.

You are right, NVMe spec is irrelevant here, but since whole
exercise was carried out with NVMe and our major use cases are NVMe,
I ended up mentioning that. I can remove that from description.
