Hi Mani,
I'm sorry, I thought I replied to this but obviously I did not.

Your points are valid.  Our PCIe HW block keeps on mutating, and each
time it does we add new code that is triggered off of the soc_base
config setting.  The end result is not easy on the eyes.

I  also have submitted the series "PCI: brcmstb: Include cable-modem
SoCs".  I don't think it has review comments yet, but I am guessing
that you will make the same points.

So it looks like what you are asking for is a refactoring of the
driver and, AFAICT, I need to first submit separate series that does
this before submitting the this and the cable modem submission.  Do
you agree with that?

Regards,
Jim Quinlan
