I've tested on Armada 370 DB (after reverting the ARM core patch that
prevents this platform from booting) and the Armada XP DB. Both boards
boot fine, and detect PCIe devices as they should.

There is some conflict between this set of commits and the two commits
that modify the PCIe clocks in my PCIe series. I've pushed a branch at
https://github.com/MISL-EBU-System-SW/mainline-public/tree/marvell-pcie-v10-and-seb-clks
which has the mvebu PCIe stuff + Sebastian patches on top of it, with
the conflicts resolved. The tricky thing is that since Sebastian is
adding new clock files, and then removing the old ones, it's pretty
easy to "loose" the changes the two PCIe clock patches are doing. The
branch above works on Armada 370/XP, so you can compare the clock files
if needed.

Of course, I'm willing to do another final test once you've done the
merged to confirm that everything is alright.

I haven't done a detailed review of the patches, but I definitely agree
with the principle, and I trust Sebastian for having done the right
thing in here.

Thanks!

Thomas
