I think the root cause of this problem is the following line.

I can't understand why the 'value' is set to 0 when pciehp_enable_slot()
returns error. The 'value' here is representing whether the slot is
occupied or not. Even if pciehp_enable_slot() returns error, it doesn't
mean slot is not occupied. So I think it is clearly wrong thing that
changing 'value' to 0 from 1 here.

How about just ignore the return value from pciehp_enable_slot()? The
code would be as follows.

t_slot = pciehp_find_slot(ctrl, ctrl->slot_device_offset);
t_slot->hpc_ops->get_adapter_status(t_slot, &value);
if (value) {
if (pciehp_force)
pciehp_enable_slot(t_slot);
} else {
/* Power off the slot if not occupied, just in case */
if (POWER_CTRL(ctrl))
if (t_slot->hpc_ops->power_off_slot(t_slot))
goto err_out_free_ctrl_slots;
}

Thanks,
Kenji Kaneshige
