Yes, there was past discussions about that with Rob, with regards
to how the DT would represent it, which got reflected at the code.
At the end, it was decided to just add a single property inside PCIe:
pcie@f4000000 {
compatible = "hisilicon,kirin970-pcie";
...
hisilicon,clken-gpios = <&gpio27 3 0>, <&gpio17 0 0>,
<&gpio20 6 0>;
I don't think this is a problem, as, if some day another bridge would
need a larger number of slots, it is just a matter of changing the
number at the MAX_PCI_SLOTS, as this controls only the size of the array
(and the check for array overflow when parsing the properties).

Mauro
