You should not print anything on unsupported platforms while introducing a new
feature.

MHI stack should first check for the existence of the EDL callback and then only
it should try to create the sysfs entry. But the EDL callback varies from device
to device afaik, so I would've fancied to pass the callback from the
mhi_controller_config structure. But the config is meant to provide config
options as opposed to callbacks.

So I think a neat way would be to add a new flag,
mhi_controller_config::edl_trigger. Then enable that flag in the config of
supported devices and during mhi_pci_probe(), pass the
mhi_pci_generic_edl_trigger() function as the callback to
mhi_controller::edl_trigger.

In the future, if we happen to add more EDL triggering mechanisms (vendor
specific), then we can use bitfields to differentiate them.
