Hello,

This series enables support to build the PCIe Cadence Controller drivers
and the PCI J721E Application/Wrapper/Glue driver as Loadable Kernel
Modules. The motivation for this series is that PCIe is not a necessity
for booting the SoC, due to which it doesn't have to be a built-in
module. Additionally, the defconfig doesn't enable the PCIe Cadence
Controller drivers and the PCI J721E driver, due to which PCIe is not
supported by default. Enabling the configs as of now (i.e. without this
series) will result in built-in drivers i.e. a bloated Linux Image for
everyone who doesn't have the PCIe Controller.

If the user doesn't enable PCIe controller device through DTS/ACPI,
that's doesn't matter.

The common Cadence configuration will be select if the glue layer's
configuration is select according to Kconfig.

Please do not set common configuration as module, some user may need
it as build-in like dw's. Considering the situation, the rootfs is at
NVMe.

 CONFIG_PCIEPORTBUS=y
 CONFIG_PCIEAER=y
