I don't see PCI or Bjorn Helgaas CCed. You can drop linux-kernel tho.

Correct, that was intentional that PCI (and Bjorn) weren't added. Since I came up with a way to detect platforms without DMI as suggested and this is entirely controlling a driver behavior within e1000e only on systems with i219-LM I didn't think that PCI ML was actually needed. Since you disagree, I'll add Bjorn into this thread. @Bjorn Helgaas, Apologies that you're looped in this way rather than directly to the submission, but the cover letter is above and the patch series can be viewed at this patchwork if you would like to fetch the mbox and respond to provide any comments. https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/?series=218121 I'll include you directly if any future v3 is necessary.

No need, I don't think. AFAICT there's nothing there related to the PCI core. Thanks! Bjorn

I'll fix up my commits from the series and submit v3 once I've got some code feedback from netdev folks.
