If your PCIe device is a graphics card, you could try removing this
condition in early_init.c:
if (reg32 == 0x030000) {
printk(BIOS_DEBUG, "PCIe device is VGA. Disabling IGD.\n");
reg16 = (1 << 1);
pci_write_config16(HOST_BRIDGE, GGC, reg16);
pci_and_config32(HOST_BRIDGE, DEVEN, ~(DEVEN_D2F0 | DEVEN_D2F1));
}

Well, there are i945 versions without integrated graphics (82945P,
82945PL, 82945PM). I haven't tested it, but I'm pretty sure the
DEVEN_D2F0 and DEVEN_D2F1 bits are always zero on these northbridges.

This write has no effect if IGD_DEV is disabled by DEVEN. Looks like
this magic 0xc1 register is called UPMC4, but it's undocumented.

Having D2F1 enabled without D2F0 being enabled is not allowed by the
PCI specification. Function 0 of multi-function devices must always be
implemented.

Unless you need to disable cdclk and crclk (the two graphics clocks
controlled by GCFC, as I see in the document number 309219-006) for
some reason, I wouldn't worry too much about the GCFC details. Your
approach looks reasonable, I'd remove the "func0 only" case for
simplicity. I think the existing code should be able to handle this
properly.

Ah yes, the magic registers. They're not publicly documented (I think
the i945 code was initially written based on information in
confidential documents), and I'm not sure if anyone still has access
to that information.
