I'm not aware of other drivers using a similar model to support
different front-end bus interfaces. Note this is requested by Arnd
Bergmann to support a normal platform bus interface and a BCMA bus
interface, which is quite unique.

PCIE_DW may be close in a way in terms of how the core code are retained
in PCIE_DW driver with PCI_EXYNOS, PCI_IMX6, and etc. to take care of
SoC specific things.

Note PCIE_DW currently has no Kconfig descriptions.

Sure. I'll submit a new patch series, which will contain this patch, and
another patch on top, to change from CONFIG_PCIE_IPROC_PLTFM to
CONFIG_PCIE_IPROC_PLATFORM.
