Dear Thierry Reding,

Thomas' RFC series incited me to put in some more work on the Tegra
PCIe controller driver. This in turn brought up an old issue: should
we move PCIe controller drivers to some central location rather than
keeping them in machine-specific directories? Last time I brought
this up there was no consensus but I really think there's some value
in keeping these drivers in a common location, especially now that a
few people are starting to work on similar problems. It may also
provide some more momentum to get the various DT implementations
factored out of various architectures.

Stephen proposed drivers/pci/host on IRC and I second that.

I for sure would be interested in a direction such as this one being
taken for PCI support. Having drivers in a common directory will help
comparing them, extracting common patterns, etc.

Best regards,

Thomas
