During PCIe hot-plug initialization - pciehp_probe() - data structures
related to slot capabilities are set up. As part of this set up, ISRs are
put in place to handle slot events and all event bits are cleared out.
This patch adds the Data Link Layer State Changed (PCI_EXP_SLTSTA_DLLSC)
Slot Status bit to the event bits that are cleared out during
initialization.
If the BIOS doesn't clear DLLSC before handoff to the OS, pciehp notices
that it's set and interprets it as a new Link Up event, which results in
spurious messages:
pciehp 0000:82:04.0:pcie24: slot(4): Link Up event
pciehp 0000:82:04.0:pcie24: Device 0000:83:00.0 already exists at 0000:83:00, cannot hot-add
pciehp 0000:82:04.0:pcie24: Cannot add device at 0000:83:00
Prior to e48f1b67f6 ("PCI: pciehp: Use link change notifications for
hot-plug and removal"), pciehp ignored DLLSC.
