Right, which is why we'll put it in a separate branch.  Say,
mvebu/pcie_bridge.  This way if /pcie_bridge has to be dropped (say an
API that it used is changed), /pcie would remain.  Which is the main
concern.

Had I known enough last time around, I would have done the /of_pci |
/pcie split.  /pcie would have been dropped, and /of_pci would have made
it in.  As well as LinusW's work which depends upon it (and now Arnd
might have something using it as well).

thx,

Jason.
