Hi Arnd,

Sorry for late response. Please see comments inline.

Since we overwrite the whole pci_ecam_ops structure (next patch):
-	cfg = pci_ecam_create(&root->device->dev, &cfgres, bus_res,
-			      &pci_generic_ecam_ops);
+	cfg = pci_ecam_create(&root->device->dev, &cfgres, bus_res, ops);

IMO bus_shift is used in the right way. So if anybody decides to put 
different bus_shift there he also needs to implement map_bus and use 
there bus_shift appropriate to quirk requirements. Obviously we can use 
standard pci_ecam_map_bus() as map_bus but that would mean quirk nature 
needs that, like for ThunderX one.

Actually we do not need to call a function for each quirk. At the same 
time we already have .init callback adopted to configuration space 
access quirk. This way there is really small amount of code duplication. 
On the other hand I understand that .init call should be more explicit. 
Any suggestions are very appreciated.

Thanks,
