Previously, the PCI core created pwrctrl devices during pci_scan_device() on its own and then skipped enumeration of those devices, hoping the pwrctrl driver would power them on and trigger a bus rescan. This approach works for endpoint devices directly connected to Root Ports, but it fails for PCIe switches acting as bus extenders. When the switch requires pwrctrl support and the pwrctrl driver is not available during the pwrctrl device creation, its enumeration will be skipped during the initial PCI bus scan. This premature scan leads the PCI core to allocate resources (bridge windows, bus numbers) for the upstream bridge based on available downstream buses at scan time. For non-hotplug capable bridges, PCI core typically allocates resources based on the number of buses available during the initial bus scan, which happens to be just one if the switch is not powered on and enumerated at that time. When the switch gets enumerated later on, it will fail due to the lack of upstream resources. As a result, a PCIe switch powered on by the pwrctrl driver cannot be reliably enumerated currently. Either the switch has to be enabled in the bootloader or the switch pwrctrl driver has to be loaded during the pwrctrl device creation time to work around these issues. Introduce new APIs to explicitly create and destroy pwrctrl devices from controller drivers by recursively scanning the PCI child nodes of the controller. These APIs allow creating pwrctrl devices based on the original criteria and are intended to be called during controller probe and removal. These APIs, together with the upcoming APIs for power on/off will allow the controller drivers to power on all the devices before starting the initial bus scan, thereby solving the resource allocation issue.
