'Commit cc27b735ad3a ("PCI/portdrv: Turn off PCIe services during shutdown")' has been added to kernel to shutdown pending PCIe port service interrupts during reboot so that a newly started kexec kernel wouldn't observe pending interrupts.
pcie_port_device_remove() is disabling the root port and switches by calling pci_disable_device() after all PCIe service drivers are shutdown.
This has been found to cause crashes on HP DL360 Gen9 machines during reboot due to hpsa driver not clearing the bus master bit during the shutdown procedure by calling pci_disable_device().
Drop the shutdown API and do an orderly clean up by using the remove.

Tested successfully on DL360 Gen9 and DL380 Gen9.

The shutdown path issues a cache flush to the controller. Without this flush, you will see "Dirty Cache" messages at POST. It is best to keep the shutdown path.
I have seen that shutdown() is also called from remove().
remove() is supposed to do a safe cleanup too. If it is leaving the hw in inconsistent state even though it is c lling shutdown , it is yet another bug.
