Subject: Re: [PATCH v6 1/2] PCI: Configure Root Port MPS during host probing

> - The device is a Root Port without an upstream bridge (!bridge),
> The Root Port's MPS is set to its hardware-supported maximum value
> (128 << dev->pcie_mpss).

> Note that this initial maximum MPS setting may be reduced later, during
