As of upstream Linux commit 0fe1e96fef0a ("powerpc/pci: Prefer PCI
domain assignment via DT 'linux,pci-domain' and alias"), the PCIe
domain address is no longer numbered by the lowest 16 bits of the PCI
register address after a fallthrough. Instead of the fallthrough, the
enumeration process accepts the alias ID (as determined by
`of_alias_scan()`). This causes e.g.:
9000:00:00.0 PCI bridge: Freescale Semiconductor Inc P1020E (rev 11)
9000:01:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR958x 802.11abgn ...
to become
0000:00:00.0 PCI bridge: Freescale Semiconductor Inc P1020E (rev 11)
0000:01:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR958x 802.11abgn ...
... which then causes the sysfs path of the netdev to change,
invalidating the `wifi_device.path`s enumerated in
`/etc/config/wireless`.
One other solution might be to migrate the uci configuration, as was
done for mvebu in commit 0bd5aa89fc ("mvebu: Migrate uci config to
new PCIe path"). However, there are concerns that the sysfs path will
change once again once some upstream patches[^2][^3] are merged and
backported (and `CONFIG_PPC_PCI_BUS_NUM_DOMAIN_DEPENDENT` is enabled).
Instead, remove the aliases and allow the fallthrough to continue for
now. We will provide a migration in a later release.
This was first reported as a Github issue[^1].
