Currently, there is no plan to address this in the kernel.

During the patch review series, it was concluded to implement this in the
Renesas way, which does not "pollute" the generic "xhci-pci.c", and requires
the very same approach (initramfs building tools must address this issue to
explicitly include `xhci-pci-prom21` same as `xhci-pci-renesas` (for dracut),
or "correctly" detects the module tree for system-available devices in so
called "dep" or "hostonly" mode (it seems dracut fails in this point but others
look better in the handling routine).
