Hi guys,

I have a question regarding to sharing generic OF pcie driver between
two architectures MB and ARM Zynq.
Is drivers/pci/pcie location good for it?
Make no sense to have the same driver in two locations.

I think you're talking about a PCI host bridge driver.  It would
definitely be nice to move toward a generic, shared driver.  Host
bridge drivers are responsible for enumerating the PCI hierarchy below
the bridge.  Enumeration is not really PCIe-specific, so I wouldn't
put it in drivers/pci/pcie.

Is using readl/writel IO functions in this driver the best option
which we can have?
Or is there any other recommendation?

I'm not really a driver person, but if you're writing a new driver,
wouldn't you use the iomap interfaces (ioremap(), ioread32(), etc)
rather than readl()?

Also just want to check if it is correct to use pcie device_type.

I don't know what you're asking here.  Can you elaborate or give a
specific example?

The rest should be the same with pci description:
