[PATCH RFC 1/1] powerpc/pseries: fix EEH recovery of IOV devices

Currently EEH recovery will fail on pSeries platforms for
passed-through physical devices that support IOV, when CONFIG_PCI_IOV
is set and the hypervisor doesn't provide a device tree node
"ibm,open-sriov-vf-bar-info" for the device. (Found on an IOV capable
device using the ipr driver.)

EEH recovery fails in pci_enable_resources() at the check on
r->parent, because r->flags is set and r->parent is not.  This state
is due to sriov_init() setting the start, end and flags members of the
IOV BARs but the parent not being set later in
pseries_pci_fixup_iov_resources(), because the
"ibm,open-sriov-vf-bar-info" property is missing, causing it to bail
out early.

Correct this by zeroing the IOV resources in the bailout path, so that
they are not seen by pci_enable_resources().

Hi,

This is a fix to allow EEH recovery to succeed in a specific situation,
which I've tried to explain in the commit message. But while I'm fairly sure of
the situation leading up to the problem, I'm not sure how it should be fixed,
which is why I've posted this as an RFC.

Just zeroing out the flags is sufficient in my tests but it seemed cleaner to
also clear start and end, but other changes would work as well: just clearing
the flags, or just removing IORESOURCE_IO and IORESOURCE_MEM or even adding
some new flag and also adjusting the test. Perhaps there's something else.
I'm not sure what implications these choices have for the generic PCI code so I
would appreciate feedback on it.

Note that this problem doesn't seem to have been introduced by
pseries_pci_fixup_iov_resources() (which was added recently): recovery
already failed (in this way) before it's introduction.
