The root pcie port implementation is obviously buggy. But did we confirm whether that hardware bug might be partly related to "configuration-retry-status" pcie-root handling as introduced/described in:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=110541914926842&w=2

Does anybody knows what was the original rational to call pci_enable_crs() by default?
