Hmm, this is something new and I don't think I've seen it(neither that
nor the backtrace from your following e-mail). Here's the kernel tree
as I've been testing it:

https://github.com/ndreys/linux/commits/imx7d/pcie-support-v8

note, however, that it is based on d0ec4e6 (tip of pci/next when I was
rebasing) of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci.git,
which is not exactly v4.11-rc5

I'll rebase on top v4.11-r5 and see if I can get the same backtrace
you are getting and see if I can fix it.

Thanks and sorry for breaking things for you,
Andrey Smirnov
