OK, thanks for confirming all that.

Something looks wrong in iproc_pcie_map_cfg_bus().
iproc_pcie_device_is_valid() returns true for device 00:00.1,
but the "busno == 0" case in iproc_pcie_map_cfg_bus() doesn't
use "fn". So the function number is ignored? That would mean
there's no difference between 000:00.0, 00:00.1, 00:00.2,
00:00.3, etc.

I think this would be clearer and less error-prone if
iproc_pcie_device_is_valid() were folded directly into
iproc_pcie_map_cfg_bus().
