PCI: add pci_pcie_cap2() check for PCIe feature capabilities >= v2 This patch resolves potential issues when accessing PCI Express Capability structures. The makeup of the capability varies substantially between v1 and v2: Version 1 of the PCI Express Capability (defined by PCI Express 1.0 and 1.1 base) neither requires the endpoint to implement the entire PCIe capability structure nor specifies default values of registers that are not implemented by the device. Version 2 of the PCI Express Capability (defined by PCIe 1.1 Capability Structure Expansion ECN, PCIe 2.0, 2.1, and 3.0) added additional registers to the structure and requires all registers to be either implemented or hardwired to 0. Due to the differences in the capability structures, code dealing with capability features must be careful not to access the additional registers introduced with v2 unless the device is specifically known to be a v2 capable device. Otherwise, attempts to access non-existant registers will occur. This is a subtle issue that is hard to track down when it occurs (and it has - see commit 864d296cf94). To try and help mitigate such occurrences, this patch introduces pci_pcie_cap2() which is similar to pci_pcie_cap() but also checks that the PCIe capability version is >= 2. pci_pcie_cap2() should be used for qualifying PCIe capability features introduced after v1.
