In some systems, the Device/Port Type in the PCI Express Capabilities
register incorrectly identifies upstream ports as downstream ports.
d0751b98df ("PCI: Add dev->has_secondary_link to track downstream PCIe
links") addressed this by adding pci_dev.has_secondary_link, which is set
for downstream ports. But this is confusing because pci_pcie_type()
sometimes gives the wrong answer, and it's not obvious that we should use
pci_dev.has_secondary_link instead.
Reduce the confusion by correcting the type of the port itself so that
pci_pcie_type() returns the actual type regardless of what the Device/Port
Type register claims it is. Update the users to call pci_pcie_type() and
pcie_downstream_port() accordingly, and remove pci_dev.has_secondary_link
completely.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
