Subject: [PATCH v6 1/3] dt-bindings: PCI: Add PCI hotplug property

Host drivers have the requirement of implementing PCI hotplug
based on the how their SOC supports it.

Couple of properties have been added. the one to enable
the hotplug feature itself, and the other caters to
the PCI hotplug implementation with the use of gpios.

+- slot-pluggable:

+   PCI hotplug implementation is SOC/Board specific, and also it depends on
