I can't guarrantee all Rev1 have been destroyed because some may left on
someone's drawer or lab. How about drop all document firstly,

and set kConfig

bool "Freescale Layerscape Gen4 PCIe controller (DEPRECATE)" if COMPILE_TEST

So layerscape gen4 will not built. Sometime later, if no one complain, we
can remove all safely.
