RISC-V platforms need to use dependencies between PCI host bridge, Link
devices and the interrupt controllers to ensure probe order. The
dependency is like below.

Interrupt controller <-- Link Device <-- PCI Host bridge.

If there is no dependency added between Link device and PCI Host Bridge,
then the PCI end points can get probed prior to link device, unable to
get mapping for INTx.
This sentence is missing a word or something.  Maybe it's supposed to
say something like this:

  If there is no dependency between Link device and PCI Host Bridge,
  then PCI devices may be probed prior to Link devices.  If a PCI
  device is probed before its Link device, we won't be able to find
  its INTx mapping.
So, add the link device's HID to dependency honor list and also clear it
after its probe.
It looks like *this* patch only clears it after probe.  And the commit
log doesn't say why we need to clear the dependency.
