[PATCH V1 1/2] dt-bindings: Add PCIe "preserve-boot-config" property

[Vidya Sagar]

The existing "linux,pci-probe-only" property applies at a system level
and it is not possible to selectively convey individual host bridge's
requirement w.r.t preserving the boot configuration done by the platform
firmware to the kernel. "preserve-boot-config" addresses that concern
and can be used to preserve the boot configuration for host bridges
selectivey.
