I am not sure I understand the "repetition" that you are referring to. The
patch below is updating:
PCIE_CADENCE_PLAT, PCIE_CADENCE_PLAT_HOST and PCIE_CADENCE_PLAT_EP
from 'bool' to 'tristate'.

The current patch is updating:
PCIE_CADENCE, PCIE_CADENCE_HOST and PCIE_CADENCE_EP
[No 'PLAT' in the configs]
from 'tristate' to 'bool'.
