I'm so confused at this point I don't really know any more.  :-/

This at least needs to be a continue.

I _thought_ that we did not care if some mailboxes failed or not.

If CDAT is not supported on any of the mailboxes found then CDAT will not show
up on sysfs (as per Dan's last comment).  If it was supported on a mailbox but
no data is found the sysfs will show up but be 0 length.

At this layer I thought we agreed to skip over these errors.  If a protocol is
needed at a higher layer and it is not found on any of the mailboxes the errors
should show up in that layer.  In this series CDAT is not 100% necessary as
devices can work without it.  So the errors were mostly paper'ed over in favor
of just printing error messages and muddle on.

The xa_insert() deserves a pci_err() though.

And I'll add a comment indicating finding mailboxes is 'best effort' and higher
layers may error out the device depending on necessity.  How about this?

        /* 
         * Mailbox creation is best effort.  Higher layers must determine if
         * the lack of a mailbox for their protocol is a device failure or not.
         */

Actually no; xa_destroy does not need to be called at this point if we fail.
However, I do need to check the return of devm_add_action and fails if it is
not set.  Thanks again!
