I have updated the git tree (https://github.com/jchandra-brcm/linux/)
with a branch arm64-acpi-pci-v3 . The branch has a new patch to use
thunder ECAM ops in case of Cavium ThunderX platform when doing
generic ACPI PCI initialization.

I am hoping that the controllers that have "ECAM with quirks" can
use this mechanism for sharing the quirks between OF and ACPI.

If you have some time to review the patch and see it works for you,
then I can post it with the v3 of this patchset.

Earlier discussion seems to indicated that separate ecam.c/h was
preferred. But I agree that it may be small enough to be merged.

Thanks,
