Hi Janne, thanks for the patch!

Maybe "used to *omit* unused PCIe ports"?  I assume the DT previously
did not mention PCIe ports at all, but now the ports are included but
marked "disabled"?

The patch is fine with me, but the commit log doesn't tell us why we
want this patch in addition to 6fffbc7ae137 ("PCI: Honor firmware's
device disabled status"), since your previous response [1] says
6fffbc7ae137 already does all the above.

I don't have any Apple specs, but from looking at the code, the
additional benefits of this patch over 6fffbc7ae137 might be:

  - We won't trip over DT issues, like "reset" or "reg" not being
    defined.

  - We won't allocate needless apple_pcie_port structs.

  - We won't ioremap register space, assert PERST#, setup clocks and
    IRQs.

  - We won't sleep waiting for things to come up, potentially saving
    150ms or more for each disabled port.

  - Maybe there's some power savings; I can't tell.

It's probably more detail than necessary to mention *all* of that, but
the commit log should say *something* about why we want this in
addition to 6fffbc7ae137.

Would you mind adding "()" after the function names, too?  Just my own
idiosyncrasy to help distinguish them from regular English text.
