I think it would be helpful to combine the "PCI: dwc: optimize RC host
pci_fixup_addr()" series and the "bus_addr_base" parts of this series
together into a single series because they are doing very similar
things, and it's easier to review them together.
And split the dt-bindings, PHY sub mode, and new endpoint support
parts to their own series because they're not related to the address
translation changes.
