misc: tc9564: introduce base PCI driver

This commit introduces a base PCI driver for the Toshiba TC9564 SoC which
implements a PCIe switch and Ethernet AVB/TSN bridge. The driver binds to the
embedded PCI endpoint functions, performs basic PCI initialization, and uses
devicetree to populate any endpoint bus children.

[Severity: High]
Does this setup sequence omit PCI IRQ vector allocation? 

Without calling pci_alloc_irq_vectors() in tc9564_function_probe() before
populating the child devices, the Linux PCI core won't configure the device's
MSI/MSI-X capabilities with host addresses and data payloads. 

Since child platform drivers cannot safely allocate PCI IRQ vectors on behalf
of their parent PCI device, will the high-speed child devices (like the 10Gbps
Ethernet XGMACs) be forced to share a single legacy INTx interrupt, or fail
entirely if the host platform does not support legacy PCI interrupts?
