[U-Boot-Users] Is pci_hose_scan() necessary?

[Prathima_Kolar]

Hello All,

We are in the process of making custom PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) based on the
mpc8266.
It will be connected to a carrier board using PMC connectors. 

It is to be configured as a master waiting for PCI interrupts from the
carrier board, also a master.

I have the job of customizing u-boot for the board, and I am currently stuck
in the initialization + configuration of the PCI interface.

My question is:

What is the significance of pci_hose_scan() in the particular case of our
board? 
At first sight, it seems to be the carrrier board's job to do the
pci_hose_scan, not mine.
But some research on the net showed that pci_hose_scan is a necessary part
of PCI initialization, whether the board is a master or a slave.
So should I include it in my customized u-boot, or should I comment it out?

Warm Regards,
Prathima Kolar.
