I don't quite believe the idea that the access method is based on
whether it's a root port.  For one thing, you decide whether to use
the memory-mapped accessor or the indirect accessor based on whether
the read targets the *root bus*, not whether it targets a root port.
And obviously you don't *know* whether the device at a B/D/F address
is a root port until after you read the PCIe type.

I think using names similar to other drivers will be helpful.

These all work on the root bus:

  exynos_pcie_rd_own_conf
  meson_pcie_rd_own_conf
  rockchip_pcie_rd_own_conf

These work on non-root buses:

  dw_pcie_rd_other_conf
  rockchip_pcie_rd_other_conf
