pciutils-3.6.0

[Bruce Dubbs]

New minor version.

[thomas]

Fixed in r20229.

ChangeLog:

• BARs reported by the OS, but not set on the device itself are reliably marked with "[virtual]".
• Library: Introduced a generic mechanism of string properties. This avoids lots of special cases and makes ABI compatibility easier.
• On Linux systems with OpenFirmware, report corresponding device tree nodes as device properties.
• VPD decoder knows several non-standard extensions.
• When PCIe link speed is less than the maximum supported by the device, it is explicitly marked as "downgraded".
• Several new capabilities are not decoded yet, but at least their names are printed.
• The Null capability is easily decoded.
• Formatting of several capabilities was cleaned up.
• The VGA16 bit in the bridge control register is now supported.
• Added a port to SylixOS. Thanks to YuJian Gong for contribution.
• Added a port to DOS/DJGPP. Thanks to Rudolf Marek for contribution.
• The order in which back-ends are probed was decoupled from the internal back-end IDs. This helps, because new back-ends must have their ID allocated at the end to keep the ABI, but they might need to be proved earlier.
• The fbsd-device back-end should work again.
• Fixed a couple of bugs. Most notably, DeviceName was not printed.
• As usually, updated pci.ids to the current snapshot of the database.
