Again, no objection to this patch as-is, but should we make it a bit
more "general" and provide a quirk table to make this type of fix easier
for other motherboards? Shouldn't we also match on a manufacturer field
as well as the board_name? The kernel provides a very easy to match on
any arbritary set of DMI fields for this kind of problem that we could
use here.
I can make that change if needed.
What are the odds that other boards are going to need a longer delay
time? Actually, is there a spec saying how long we need to wait? The
ACPI PCI Hotplug had a value somewhere that the hardware was supposed to
follow, but I don't have access to that ACPI spec anymore to verify
this...
thanks,
