Hi Bjorn,

Are these tasks enough?

- replace mdelay() for msleep()
- remove synopsys_pcie_irq_handler()
- replace "snps,pcie-synopsys" for "snps,pcie-synopsys-ipk"?
- rename the driver to pcie-synopsys-ipk?
- update the devicetree documentation referring that the ranges also include the
config space
