Yes, that's probably best. Initially, it was ok because all front-ends
of the dw-pcie driver were using module_platform_probe(), but that
is not the case any more, so now at least keystone, layerscape and
spear13xx are broken, and I think it's safer to change dw_pcie_host_init
than to rely on everyone using module_platform_probe() correctly.
