This patch only removes a pci_sys_data struct from pcie-rcar.c. That
struct was previously used by pci_common_init_dev() and by the ARM
pcibios_align_resource().
After cbce7900598c ("PCI: designware: Make driver arch-agnostic"), none of
the DesignWare drivers use pci_common_init_dev(), and after b3a72384fe29,
ARM doesn't need pci_sys_data for pcibios_align_resource().
Phil can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this patch is probably OK.
I guess we can tell after I apply it and get a build test :)
