Yes, of course.

There were a few nits I wanted to address: - Since we added suppress_bind_attrs = true, probe() can only be called at init, so I wanted to mark __init all the probe functions, to save space. - I left the definition of MSI_MAX in the wrong patch - You put a pointer to the pdev in the struct tango_pcie. I think this is redundant, since the pdev already has a pointer to the struct, as drvdata. So I wanted to change tango_msi_probe() to take a pdev as argument (to make it more like an actual probe function) and derive pcie from pdev, instead of the other way around. Can I send you a patch series with these changes on Friday? Regards.
