As Ryder's description, Mediatek's new generation HW blocks has two
separate ports, they have separate control register base address. We
must touch the per-port control register to access the EP's
configuration space. One port's control register is the only way to
access the EP's configuration space(the EP which is connect under this
very port).
Given an EP device, we need to determine which ports it's been
connected, and get the base address for that port. It's a bit like
pci-tegra/pci-mvebu.

Seems list is not forbidden, pci-tegra search the list to identify the
ports[1], mvebu use point array to search the ports[2], they have the
same functionality through different approach. I may propose another
patch to make the code like mvebu[2] if you insist, but I'm prefer the
current list way.
