Hi Breno,

I'm sorry for the regression. I didn't realize that PPC uses open-coded
PCI scan.

I guess the problem is caused by dev->pcie_cap, right? But I don't
understand what is happening clearly. Could you send me the detailed
information about the problem?

The set_pcie_port_type() needs to be called before pci_fixup_device() in
pci_setup_device() because fixup code might refer dev->pcie_cap. So I
don't think the first one is a good idea.

I think the second one is better. But to prevent similar problems, I
think it would be better to remove open-coded PCI scan in PPC in a
long term, though I don't know the background about that.
