I didn't communicate my point very clearly. The above four lines should either be (1) a single paragraph, wrapped to fill the entire width, or (2) two paragraphs, with a blank line before "All subordinate buses ..." The fact that "... by the driver" ends in the middle of the line suggests that it's the end of the paragraph, but the fact that there's no blank line following suggests that it's not. So it creates an unnecessary hiccup for the reader. > Implementing specific PCI config access functions involves: > - Adding an init function to obtain the Root Port's base address > from an AMZN0001 device. > - Adding a new entry in the mcfg quirk array s/mcfg/MCFG/ since "MCFG" is an ACPI table ID, not a word.
