I did of course know that the port struct already contained that information but did not think of any such elegant way to do it as you describe outside of adding an explicit index. So I agree and will just implement and make use of such a new tegra_pcie_port_index_of_port() function. > or: > > b) That by changing the function signature code is able to choose > between calling the board-specific reset override function and the > PCIe > driver low-level reset function? > > If so, let's just have two different function names, have all > callers > call the board-specific function only, and have the board-specific > function call the driver function.

Initially that was not really my intention but I believe you bring up a very valid point and it could be useful to use the default reset behaviour on certain ports while using a custom one on others. This would e.g. be the case on Apalis T30 where the on-module PCIe gigabit Ethernet chip is using the standard out-of-band signalling while the PCIe switch on the Apalis Evaluation board requires the same special reset work-around as optionally implemented for Apalis TK1. I will therefore implement it this way as well leaving it completely up to board code which way to go. Thanks again for your valuable input.
