Not necessary at this point. For some unknown reasons, the HW team ended up
disabling cache snooping on this specific platform. Whereas on other platforms,
it is enabled by default. So I have low expectations that we would need this
setting on other platforms in the future.

My concern with the usage of flag is that it warrants a new "qcom_pcie_cfg"
instance just for this quirk and it looks overkill to me.

So if we endup seeing this behavior on other platforms as well (unlikely) then
we can switch to the flag approach.
