It was completely vague as to why this incompatibility was specific to
the 5706, when -- as the description noted -- the behavior is legal.
Re-read the patch. At no time does it say 5706 was in the wrong.
True, but it does indicate that using a masked 64-bit transaction
for MSI instead of a true 32-bit one is considered to be quite rare.
Do you wish to put a table of all devices that do this, and at PCI
quirk time disable PCI for everyone on the AMD chipset if even one
such device is found in the device?
That doesn't make any sense to me.
David, rejoin reality. You are either arguing with a fictionalized Jeff
Garzik in your head, or constructing a classical strawman.
Let me say it for the cheap seats: AT NO TIME DID I PROPOSE ACTION OF
ANY KIND. I sought clarification. Information.
So, please, quit making stupid and incorrect assumptions about my
intentions. If this is indeed a rare behavior and most other MSI cases
work with the 8132, then the patch is quite reasonable. I see no reason
to NAK the patch.
Jeff
