In a future commit, a new handler will be introduced that in part does reads and writes to some of the PCIe registers. When this handler is invoked, it is paramount that it does not do these register accesses when the PCIe bridge is inactive, as this will cause CPU abort errors. To solve this we keep a spinlock that guards a variable which indicates whether the bridge is on or off. When the bridge is on, access of the PCIe HW registers may proceed. Since there are multiple ways to reset the bridge, we introduce a general function to obtain the spinlock, call the specific function that is used for the specific SoC, sets the bridge active indicator variable, and releases the spinlock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
