Yea, that's a good news.

Just a suggestion.
Do you see below codes in mpc85xx_pex_errata.c(in read and write functions)?
	if (devfn != 0x0) 
		return PCIBIOS_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND;
Change them to:
	if (devfn != 0x0 && bus->number ==0) 
		return PCIBIOS_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND;
And try again. :-)
(If you apply my patch, please use "if (devfn != 0x0 && bus->number ==0xff)" )

This patch fix an issue of MPC8641 PCI-Ex controller. It seems MPC8548 has no that issue. Well then fotget it.

Thanks!
