This PCI driver purpose is to instanciate many other drivers using a DT
overlay. I think MFD is the right subsystem.  
It is a Multi-function Device, but it doesn't appear to use any of the
MFD subsystem. So maybe drivers/soc/? Another dumping ground, but it
is a driver for an SoC exposed as a PCI device.
In drivers/soc, drivers/soc/microchip/ could be the right place.

Conor, are you open to have the PCI LAN966x device driver in
drivers/soc/microchip/ ?
That sounds like a much worse fit than drivers/mfd: the code
here does not actually run on the lan966x soc, it instead runs
on whatever other machine you happen to plug it into as a
PCI device.
