I don't see anything touching DPC in this series?

Uh, if I'm reading this right it looks like your "slot" C5 is actually
the PCIe switch's internal bus which is definitely not hot pluggable.
I find it helps to look at the PCI topology in terms of where the
physical PCIe links are. Here we've got:

- A link between the PHB (0004:00:00.0) and the switch upstream port
(0004:01:00.0)
- A link from switch downstream port 0 (0004:02:00.0) to nothing
- A link from switch downstream port 1 (0004:02:01.0) to a SAS card
- A link from switch downstream port 2 (0004:02:02.0) to a SAS card
- A link from switch downstream port 2 (0004:02:03.0) to nothing

Note that there's no PCIe link between the switch upstream port
(0004:01:00.0) and the downstream ports on bus 0004:02. The connection
between those is invisible to us because it's custom bus logic
internal to the PCIe switch ASIC. What I think has happened here is
that system firmware has supplied bad PCIe slot information to OPAL
which has resulted in pnv_php advertising a slot in the wrong place.
Assuming this following the usual IBM convention I'd expect the bridge
device for C5 to be the PHB's root port and the bus should be 0004:01.
It might be worth adding some logic to pnv_php to verify the PCI
bridge upstream of the slot actually has the PCIe slot capability to
guard against this problem.

Yep, "powering off" C5 doesn't remove the upstream port device. This
would create problems if you physically removed the card from C5 since
the kernel would assume the switch device is still present.

If you're going to iterate over all the DT nodes why not just scan all
of them rather than special casing bridges? IIRC current logic is the
way it is because PowerVM only puts single devices under a PHB and in
the PowerNV (pnv_php) case the PCIe spec guarantees that only device 0
will be present on the end of a link. If you want to handle the more
generic case then feel free, but do it properly.
