FWIW:
I've tested Kishon's tag pci-endpoint-for-4.12
and PCIe on artpec6 SoC is still working fine.

I also included the DRA7xx PCIe driver in my
kernel so that pcie-designware-ep.c gets built.

My only worry is that the code in pcie-designware-ep.c
is not compile tested if DRA7xx is not selected
(as it is the only driver using PCIE_DW_EP at
the moment).
