the mainline PCIe PHY driver only made it into Linux 5.4
I am pointing this out because OpenWrt uses an out-of-tree PCIe driver
with Linux 4.19 and this patch will break that if we don't do
additional work there

thus I would like to understand why this got queued as backport for
various -stable kernels
