 require the interrupt enable registers to be set explicitly to enable MSI
 
+Optional properties:
+- brcm,pci-hotplug: PCI hotplug feature is supported.
+
+If the brcm,pcie-hotplug property is present, the following properties become
+effective:

+- brcm,prsnt-gpio: Array of gpios, needs to be present if Hotplug is supported.
+
+PCI hotplug implementation is SOC/Board specific, and also it depends on
+how add-in card is designed (e.g. how many present pins are implemented).
+
+If x8 card is connected, then it might be possible that all the
+3 present pins could go low, or at least one pin goes low.
+
+If x4 card is connected, then it might be possible that 2 present
+pins go low, or at least one pin goes low.

+Example:
+brcm,prsnt-gpio: <&pca9505 32 1>, <&pca9505 33 1>;
+This is x4 connector: monitoring max 2 present lines.
