No Freescale part that I'm aware of (ppc based) has ever allowed  
inbound config cycles if the device is in host mode/root complex.

Its a timing issue if we are talking about using this for "agent"  
support.  The idea is once any cpu local software has run and setup  
things than it sets the ACL bit to allow an external master access.   
Its not clear when that point might be as we can't predicate what the  
local CPU SW wants setup before allowing access.

If you are only running your devices/boards in host mode this patch is  
not needed.
