lspci: Slot Power Limit values above EFh

Hello!

PCI Express Base Specification rev. 3.0 has the following definition for
the Slot Power Limit Value:

=======================================================================
When the Slot Power Limit Scale field equals 00b (1.0x) and Slot Power
Limit Value exceeds EFh, the following alternative encodings are used:
  F0h = 250 W Slot Power Limit
  F1h = 275 W Slot Power Limit
  F2h = 300 W Slot Power Limit
  F3h to FFh = Reserved for Slot Power Limit values above 300 W
=======================================================================

But the function power_limit() in ls-caps.c does not handle value above
EFh according to this definition.

Here is a simple patch which fixes it for values F0h..F2h. But I'm not
sure how (reserved) values above F2h should be handled.

FWIW, it's the same in rev 5.  I had thought they might add even more
power encodings, but no.

How about ...

  if (scale == 0)
    {
      if (value > 0xf2)
        return 0.0f/0;
      if (value >= 0xf0)
        return scale0_values[value - 0xf0];
    }

(btw, a float is the same size as an int -- 32 bits, so there's no
benefit to storing the values as an int and doing the conversion at runtime.
may as well have the compiler put the right set of bits in the binary)

in the caller:

  if ((type == PCI_EXP_TYPE_ENDPOINT) || (type == PCI_EXP_TYPE_UPSTREAM) ||
      (type == PCI_EXP_TYPE_PCI_BRIDGE))
    {
      float power = power_limit((t & PCI_EXP_DEVCAP_PWR_VAL) >> 18,
				(t & PCI_EXP_DEVCAP_PWR_SCL) >> 26));
      if (isnan(power))
        printf(" SlotPowerLimit >300W");
      else
	printf(" SlotPowerLimit %.3fW", power);
    }
