Ah, that's perfect. Just for more background, I think it shouldn't be too
hard to convert the existing orion5x PCI support into a proper host driver,
and I can assist anyone willing to work on this and test it.

I think the steps here would roughly be:

- change PCI (not PCIe) host initialization to call
  pci_scan_root_bus() directly, bypassing the pci_common_init
  logic
- move PCI code into a separate file
- change PCI code into a driver by adding platform_device based
  probing
- add DT support for that driver.

For the PCIe code, the obvious strategy is to replace it with
the existing pcie-mvebu driver, adding any missing parts
in the process.
