Juno R1 board sports a functional PCIe host bridge that is
compliant with the SBSA standard found here[1]. With the right
firmware that initialises the XpressRICH3 controller one can
use the generic Host Bridge driver to use the PCIe hardware.

I think this is the first case of real h/w using this. We should have
a specific compatible here additionally.

Or maybe I can claim the use of the string on account on being the first on arm64 ;)

I can add a vendor prefix if you want, but pci-host-generic is going to ignore it 
*because* it is trying to be a generic driver.

The point here is to have the string ready if we need it later, so it's
fine that it's not used currently.

Rob's suggestion is that the compatible list should look something like:

compatible = "arm,juno-r1-pcie", "plda,xpressrich3", "pci-host-ecam-generic";

We can match on "pci-host-ecam-generic" for now (and hopefully forever),
but if for some reason we need to special-case this host controller (or
Juno's integration thereof), we can do that based on the compatible
string.

Thanks,
Mark.
