You must work with Tomasz and come up with a unified patchset that
implements ACPI PCIe support for ARM64. We do not need more churn, we
need a working set, period. Posting separate RFCs just adds to the
confusion and to maintainers' review backlog, with the end result of
confusing everyone and achieving nothing.
