From 4c0fd7648d880d98add62552cffdf993bde65cf8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bjorn Helgaas Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2018 11:21:28 -0600 Subject: PCI/portdrv: Remove unnecessary "pcie_ports=auto" parameter The "pcie_ports=auto" parameter set pcie_ports_disabled and pcie_ports_auto to their compiled-in defaults, so specifying the parameter is the same as not using it at all. Remove the "pcie_ports=auto" parameter and update the documentation.
