Hi,

I completely missed these patches, thanks for pointing me to them again.
I will try to review them in the net days. I already saw this code in
the vendor driver but did not add it because my devices did not use it.
We will change to a different PCIe driver with the next kernel in
OpenWrt, because Broadcom added a kernel for this PCIe core into the
mainline kernel. We should get it into this new driver. Then also some
people from Broadcom can review this.
