Ah, right. However, we generally haven't done this elsewhere and you 
aren't special.

Experience has shown these are not useful. Drop it. Anything in the PCI 
core would probably use the RP VID/PID.

Furthermore, there is no guarantee that you won't match and bind to the 
dw_plat_pcie_driver instead. The kernel has no mechanism to bind to the 
best match (which is further complicated with modules).

Tell me why you need random order.

If that's what the h/w has...

Yes, and that means don't use in new users.

No.
