This patch (8b5742ad156d ("ARM/PCI: Call pcie_bus_configure_settings() to
set MPS")) has been upstream since v3.16-rc1, but I think we goofed.

The MPS configuration should be done *before* pci_bus_add_devices(). After
pci_bus_add_devices(), drivers may be bound to devices, and the PCI core
shouldn't touch device configuration while a driver owns the device.

Looking at the code, it seems like it would have been simpler to do this in
the existing loop:

list_for_each_entry(sys, &head, node) {
struct pci_bus *bus = sys->bus;

if (bus && !pci_has_flag(PCI_PROBE_ONLY)) {
pci_bus_size_bridges(bus);
pci_bus_assign_resources(bus);
list_for_each_entry(child, &bus->children, node)
pcie_bus_configure_settings(child);
}

pci_bus_add_devices(bus);
}

so maybe there's some reason I'm not aware of for not doing it that way?
