To be precise on this, originally the card was not detected at all, neither by the kernel nor by U-Boot. But one of your patches to renumber the PCI end points made it appear and work well. Later, the MSI-X issue surfaced after the following patch was merged : 36dd1f3 PCI: mvebu: Disable prefetchable memory support in PCI-to-PCI bridge Reverting it solves the issue but as we discussed, doing this is just a workaround as the patch is fine. I tracked down the oops to be caused by something related to the NIC failing to register an MSI-X interrupt for both ports but one only, trying to rollback to do MSI only for both ports and there failing on this part which dereferences the pointer returned in *value that's zero while it used to be -1 before the patch. That's all I know, I added maybe 200 printks all around but don't know the PCI code and did not have enough time to track it down further nor to make a detailed bug report. I don't even know whether it's what the NIC driver does, what the PCI stack does or what the MVEBU PCI driver does which is at fault, or even any combination of them. In the mean time if you want to test your NIC, try reverting the patch above, but keep in mind that without this patch, other NICs were reported to fail in some conditions (realtek IIRC).
