I agree:

All drivers without any driver_data defined, i.e.:
        { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_FREESCALE, PCI_DEVICE_ID_IMX8),},
        { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_RENESAS, PCI_DEVICE_ID_RENESAS_R8A774A1),},
        { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_RENESAS, PCI_DEVICE_ID_RENESAS_R8A774B1),},
        { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_RENESAS, PCI_DEVICE_ID_RENESAS_R8A774C0),},
        { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_RENESAS, PCI_DEVICE_ID_RENESAS_R8A774E1),},


For those platforms, without this patch, you will get:
  pci-endpoint-test 0001:01:00.0: Invalid IRQ type selected
  pci-endpoint-test 0001:01:00.0: probe with driver pci-endpoint-test failed with error -22


Kind regards,
