Okay sure. I usually do that for the drivers that got merged but don't
have any issues with driver prefix while under review.

Yes

Since pcie-qcom.c supports most of the RC IPs in recent SoCs, I can
assure that this driver can handle all EPs.

Sure thing. I can use the patterns for the callback functions as they
are the ones shared between all drivers.
