Remove period from subject line.

Please mention the most important part first in the subject -- the
ECAM change sounds more important than removing redundant code.

s/ecam/ECAM/
s/reduntant/redundant/

Please elaborate on why this code is redundant.  What makes it
redundant?  Apparently the bus number registers default to the correct
values or some other software programs them?

I don't see the point of the struct nwl_pcie.ecam_value member.  It is
set once and never updated, so we could just use
NWL_ECAM_VALUE_DEFAULT instead.

"ECAM_VALUE" is not a very informative name.  I don't know what an
"ECAM value" would be.  How is the value 16 related to a maximum of
256 buses?  We only need 8 bits to address 256 buses, so it must be
something else.  The bus number appears at bits 20-27
(PCIE_ECAM_BUS_SHIFT) in a standard ECAM address, so probably not the
bit location?

Does this fix a problem?

"ecam_val" looks like it's supposed to be the 32-bit value containing
PCI_PRIMARY_BUS (low 8 bits, from the pointless "first_busno" that is
always 0), PCI_SECONDARY_BUS (bits 8-15, always bus 1),
PCI_SUBORDINATE_BUS (bits 16-23, totally unrelated to
E_ECAM_SIZE_SHIFT although E_ECAM_SIZE_SHIFT happens to be the correct
value (16)), and PCI_SEC_LATENCY_TIMER (not applicable for PCIe).

So I guess the assumption is that these registers already contain the
correct values?

It looks like previously PCI_SUBORDINATE_BUS (i.e., pcie->last_busno)
was 12, since we wrote NWL_ECAM_VALUE_DEFAULT to E_ECAM_CONTROL and
then read it back?

And now pcie->last_busno is competely unused?

This all seems not quite baked.  Am I missing something?
