[PATCH] PCI: Fix 32-bit config write in Intel RP MPC ACS quirk
Posted by Mohamad Raizudeen 22 hours ago
The pci_quirk_enable_intel_rp_mpc_acs() reads a 32 bit DWORD from the
MPC register, sets bit 26 (INTEL_MPC_REG_IRBNCE), but it writes it back
using pci_write_config_word().

Because bit 26 resides in the upper 16 bits of the 32 bit register, a 16
bit write to offset 0xd8 completely drops the newly set bit. The quirk
logs that it is enabling IRBNCE, but the hardware never actually
receives the command.

Fix this by using pci_write_config_dword() to ensure the full 32 bit
value is written back to the hardware.

Needs a Fixes: tag, probably for d99321b63b1f ("PCI: Enable quirks for PCIe
ACS on Intel PCH root ports")

That's 12 years old, surprising this hasn't been noticed before :)
Google does find several mentions of "Enabling MPC IRBNCE", so maybe there
have been issues but not debugged.
