IIRC, I believe the reason that this code is in
brcm_pcie_{add,remove}_bus() is because the reviewers wanted the code
outside of the RC driver, as it was the port driver that "owned' the
regulator. I also vaguely recall one of my submissions that had
generic pci_subdev_regulators_{add,remove}_bus() calls in pcie/bus.c,
but was later redirected back to the brcmstb RC driver.
