Just a general note regarding the DT-bindings. If you're willing to fix
some names or most importantly add new ones please follow as much as
possible to the generic interface defined in the common part of the
DW PCIe bindings schema:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pci/snps,dw-pcie-common.yaml
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pci/snps,dw-pcie.yaml
for instance the generic "reg-names" are "elbi" or "app" defined for
the application-dependent registers map (normally implemented via the
ELBI interface in hardware), the "appl" name is marked as vendor-specific
and should be avoided.
