I agree (please see below).

This use case is handled by enabling the PCI_MVEBU driver on a board
per board case in U-Boot. But nevertheless I agree in general.

Yes, my first version did not change the dtsi file but the board dts
file (theadorable in this case). My motivation was to not change anything
in the configuration for these Armada XP/38x boards and to enable the
PCIe DT node in general for all boards (frankly I was too lazy to do these
DT changes for all those boards). But I agree that this approach is
cumbersome and I'll follow-up with a v2 patch moving this "okay" to the
board DT files.

Anyways, it would be great if you (and others) could test the new
DM PCI driver on your board(s).

Thanks,
Stefan
