When there is no PCIe card connected and advk_pcie_rd_conf() or advk_pcie_wr_conf() is called for PCI bus which doesn't belong to emulated root bridge, the aardvark driver throws the following error message: advk-pcie d0070000.pcie: config read/write timed out Obviously accessing PCIe registers of disconnected card is not possible. Extend check in advk_pcie_valid_device() function for validating availability of PCIe bus. If PCIe link is down, then the device is marked as Not Found and the driver does not try to access these registers. This is just an optimization to prevent accessing PCIe registers when card is disconnected. Trying to access PCIe registers of disconnected card does not cause any crash, kernel just needs to wait for a timeout. So if card disappear immediately after checking for PCIe link (before accessing PCIe registers), it does not cause any problems.

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.
