I guess this actually adds TWO drivers: PCIE_PLDA_PLAT_HOST (claims
"plda,xpressrich-pcie-host" devices) and PCIE_STARFIVE_HOST (claims
"starfive,jh7110-pcie" devices), right?

Doesn't quite apply cleanly for me:

  Switched to a new branch 'wip/minda-starfive-v1'

"controller"

Use "PCI: plda: " prefix for PLDA things that are shared across
multiple drivers.

Use "PCI: starfive: " prefix for starfive-specific things.

This is the same as how drivers/pci/controller/dwc/* looks.
