This allows it to coexist with the other mtk pcie driver in the same kernel

I assume this is a v3 of [1].  Please:
Thanks, I wasn't aware of that patch.

   - Follow the subject line capitalization convention, i.e.,
     "PCI: mediatek-gen3: Change ..."

   - Expand the commit log to say why this is important.  From a C
     language level, using the same "mtk-pcie" string in both drivers
     is no problem.  So please mention where it *is* a problem, e.g.,
     if it's a problem with modprobe or similar, say that.  Or if it's
     to make log messages in dmesg have different driver names, say
that.The reason is the fact that driver_register will refuse to register a
driver if one with the same name has already been registered.

   - s/pcie/PCIe/ in commit log and other English text.

   - Add a period at the end of the commit log sentence.

Will take care of this and send an updated version as v3.
