I thought maybe ALOK's point was to sort the list, which does make a
lot of sense.  But if you want to sort by the .data member, I would
think you would make .compatible a secondary sort key, which means
ls1028a would come before ls1046a, so you would end up with this
instead:

 static const struct of_device_id ls_pcie_ep_of_match[] = {
+       { .compatible = "fsl,ls1028a-pcie-ep", .data = &ls1_ep_drvdata },
        { .compatible = "fsl,ls1046a-pcie-ep", .data = &ls1_ep_drvdata },
        { .compatible = "fsl,ls1088a-pcie-ep", .data = &ls2_ep_drvdata },
        { .compatible = "fsl,ls2088a-pcie-ep", .data = &ls2_ep_drvdata },
        { .compatible = "fsl,lx2160ar2-pcie-ep", .data = &lx2_ep_drvdata },
        { },
 };
