Hi Jason,

Thank you for your comments I'll fix the spelling mistakes.

You suggested to remove the port field and to ignore the slot number for root ports,
and I understand the reasoning, but, from safety reasons, if we know that device 2030
will always be found on slot 0 and 2032 for example will always be found on slot 2
wouldn't it be prudent to compare the device number vs the port number,
unless you believe that the BIOS/ACPI issue will be fixed.

Shlomo.
