I know it's different hardware, so obviously it can't be exactly the
same.  These are the differences that looked possibly unnecessary:

  - registering from initcall instead of .probe():

      apple_pcie_probe                  # .probe() method
        bus_register_notifier(&pci_bus_type, &apple_pcie_nb)

      imx_pcie_init                     # device_initcall()
        bus_register_notifier(&pci_bus_type, &imx_pcie_nb)

  - naming BUS_NOTIFY_DEL_DEVICE function:

      apple_pcie_release_device()
      imx_pcie_del_device()

  - tracking entries in use via bitmap vs scanning hardware for
    invalid entries:

      bitmap_find_free_region           # apple

      imx_pcie_config_lut               # imx
        for (i = 0; i < IMX95_MAX_LUT; i++)
          regmap_read(imx_pcie->iomuxc_gpr, IMX95_PE0_LUT_DATA1, &data1)
          if (data1 & IMX95_PE0_LUT_VLD)
            continue

When we fix a bug in one driver, it's easier to check whether other
drivers also need the fix if they use the same structure and names.
