I'm afraid you haven't understood the difference between a control
message for an individual port, and the config space for the entire
device. Please re-read my post earlier in the thread, and follow the
code. There's no divergence in the implementation and the spec, and
there's nothing to fix. If anything, there may be a chance to add to
the spec the order for the control message - though I don't think
there's a strong need to.
