Actually there are situations where the presence detect signal does not make much sense, because the card is not really plugged out physically. For e.g. how do we deal with PCIe end points that may be on the board itself, but say come out of reset after the bootup? Or go down during a firmware upgrade and again come back up after the upgrade? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
