The spec says: "If the bridge generates a new Requester ID for a
transaction forwarded from the secondary interface to the primary
interface, the bridge assigns the PCI Express Requester ID using its
secondary interface’s Bus Number and sets both the Device Number and
Function Number fields to zero.". I guess it is the reason?

Alex, please could you clarify this case as well , comment?
