Yes, that commit is the culprit.  I was concerned about ARM in general
when I posted this series as I do not have a compile environment for it,
nor am I at all familiar with ARM to know if I had covered all the
possible variations (i.e. 8152 vs other, non 8152 types).

Will deleting the 'pcibios_max_latency' definition in
arch/arm/common/it8152.c be the correct solution for all ARM variations
(I don't want to try and fix one while breaking others)?

I'll wait for your response/guidance and if this is the correct action
generate a patch right away.

Thanks,
 Myron
