Many thanks for the suggestions.

Currently, we only have this PCIe Gen3 PHY, and I don't think we are
planning other PCIe Gen3 PHYs with different software interfaces, even
in the next generation, we want to make sure it has a similar interface
to this generation, so I prefer to add a generic ones to support more
SoCs that need this driver.

Thanks.
