No, it was actually a no-op due to CONFIG_PCI_DYNAMIC_OF_NODES not
being set. But this is only available if CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC is enabled
which requires OF_UNITTEST (!).

We definitely don't need to enable dynamic OF nodes. We don't want to
modify the DT, we want to create devices for existing nodes. Also:
with the approach in this RFC we maintain a clear hierarchy of devices
with the port device being the parent of the power sequencing device
which becomes the parent of the actual PCIe device (the port stays the
parent of this device too).
