This calling convention is strange.  Just split the early part of
dw_pcie_ep_init into an dw_pcie_ep_early and either add a tiny
wrapper like:

int dw_pcie_ep_init(struct dw_pcie_ep *ep)
{
	int error;

	error = dw_pcie_ep_init_early(ep);
	if (error)
		return error;
	return dw_pcie_ep_init_late(ep);
}

or just open code that in the few callers.  That keeps the calling
conventions much simpler and avoids relying on a callback and flag.
