I now see the note in your cover letter.  If there is a reason for
this, it should go in the changelog to forestall questions like this.
But what's in the cover letter isn't quite enough because it doesn't
answer the question of why drivers/pci/Makefile isn't sufficient to
control the ordering of pci/dwc and pci/endpoint.

And sorry, I now see Lorenzo's similar query so he's already jumped on
this :)
