I think this is correct, but it would be nicer to update the way this
driver uses of_device_get_match_data(), e.g.,

  struct rcar_variant {
    int (*phy_init_fn)(struct rcar_pcie_host *host);
    bool hook_abort;
  };

  struct rcar_pcie_host {
    ...
    const struct rcar_variant *variant;
  };

  static int rcar_pcie_probe(...)
  {
    host->variant = of_device_get_match_data(dev);
    err = host->variant->phy_init_fn(host);
    ...

  #ifdef CONFIG_ARM
    if (host->variant->hook_abort) {
  #ifdef CONFIG_ARM_LPAE
      hook_fault_code(17, ...);
  # else
      hook_fault_code(22, ...);
  #endif
    }
  #endif
  }

Or keep the hook in a separate function called from rcar_pcie_probe()
if you think that's cleaner.

I'm not sure hook_fault_code() needs to be called separately as a
device_initcall().  The pci-ixp4xx.c driver does it in
ixp4xx_pci_probe(), so I assume rcar could do it in probe as well.
