To add, every SOC might have different way of implementing hotplug.
so I suppose both the binding documents have to be updated.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pci/host-generic-pci.txt
which can have common boolean property
named "hotpluggable"

and SOC specific implementation can stay here
for e.g.
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pci/brcm,iproc-pcie.txt
brcm,prsnt-gpios

Rob and Ray:
please let me know how this sounds.

Oza.
