Is there a PCIe bridge involved in either of these? In the pre-history
of Kirkwood (which I believe has the same or similar IP block for
PCIe) I've hit platforms where the PCIe I/O fails because something
about the host bridge interferes with a real bridge on the bus where a
directly connected device worked fine. Marvell were shipping a patch
that adds a fake PCIe bridge in their LSP and I think that is what was
eventually ported to upstream Linux.
