The difference is only the read function in hose->ops, which is set to 
indirect_read_config instead of fsl_indirect_read_config.

fsl_indirect_read_config calls fsl_pcie_check_link, which is where the Oops 
occurs. 

Mike, can you find out where exactly in fsl_pcie_check_link the bad access 
happens? Enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE might help.
