If this is an option for the dw-pcie block, should this description be
added to the generic binding instead?

 Required properties:
-- compatible: should contain the platform identifier such as "fsl,ls1021a-pcie"
+- compatible: should contain the platform identifier such as "fsl,<soc-name>-pcie",
+  "snps,dw-pcie".
You should document all the strings that will be needed here, otherwise a
driver write does not know what to look for.

If two chips have a 100% identical PCIe implementation, just use the string
of the older chip for both.
