thanks.

indirect_read_config() can't be refactored because it is also used
in the generic struct pci_ops. Unless you mean making an
__indirect_read_config that the original would call, but that
doesn't look that trivial given it calls pci_exclude_device with a
struct pci_controller hose.

fake_pci_bus()' version is static, so it's not on the stack.

given that, maybe fsl_pcie_check_link()'s should be static too?
