In this case, where you need to initialize the EP as fast as possible,
you should define the dts node and probably add ""u-boot,
dm-pre-reloc".
The you need to forcefully probe the EP in one of the pre-relocation
board callbacks.
This can be done by something like:
rc = uclass_get_device_by_name(UCLASS_PCI_EP, "pcie_ep at 4800000", &dev);

root complex and endpoint are totally different drivers, I don't see
how you can combine them together.

Thanks,
Ramon.
