This patch resolves potential issues when accessing PCI Express
Capability structures. The makeup of the capability varies
substantially between v1 and v2:
Version 1 of the PCI Express Capability (defined by PCI Express
1.0 and 1.1 base) neither requires the endpoint to implement the
entire PCIe capability structure nor specifies default values of
registers that are not implemented by the device.
Version 2 of the PCI Express Capability (defined by PCIe 1.1
Capability Structure Expansion ECN, PCIe 2.0, 2.1, and 3.0) added
additional registers to the structure and requires all registers
to be either implemented or hardwired to 0.
Due to the differences in the capability structures, code dealing with
capability features must be careful not to access the additional
registers introduced with v2 unless the device is specifically known to
be a v2 capable device. Otherwise, attempts to access non-existant
registers will occur. This is a subtle issue that is hard to track down
when it occurs (and it has - see commit
