The issue is not with this patch (in my opinion). This patch is just
re-arranging how thunder specific data is maintained. Earlier it was
a container_of gen_pci, now it is ->priv of pci_config_window.

I can see the issue in patches 12 and 13 of this patchset which adds
ACPI fixups into the thunder OF driver.

The simple approach when doing modular PCI drivers would be to make
pci-thunder-*.c like pci-host-common.c, to be compiled in if configured.
The fie will contain all the Thunder quirks and can export
pci_thunder_ecam_ops.

Then the OF driver part will be trivial and can be merged into
pci-host-generic.c which can be a module. The ACPI hooks can be
moved to the ACPI PCI host driver file.

Would appreciate any suggestions on the way forward.

Thanks,
JC.
