PCIE_PWRSEQ_QCA6390 is also guarded by PCIE_PWRSEQ though. That would
require the default statement to be duplicated to the PCIE_PWRSEQ option
as well.

Presumably we'd get a few more power sequencing drivers, and the list of
default statements for PCIE_PWRSEQ would grow.

If that's acceptable then Arnd's proposal plus duplicating it to
PCIE_PWRSEQ should work as described.
