I think the following one should make sure that MEM/IO response are
enabled (also as suggested by Alex)



Also the above one could allow us to get rid of fixup_vga in powerpc....

Well from my understanding the PCI host controller driver will enumerate
all the devices in the PCI hierarchy and call pci_device_add() for each of
them, that in turn will call device_add(), at this stage if there is a
driver available for the device such driver will probe otherwise it will not.

Are you suggesting to add the code above in pci_device_add() after device_add()
and after checking that a driver has been bound for such dev?

Thanks

I don't like us turning on MEM/IO decoding on a device that has
potentially not been initialized by its driver.
