Please keep the PCIe supply regulator in your DT, but just mark it
always-on.
I looked into moving the bus-supply into the common designware driver,
but that needs some more work. I'll send out a series for this in the
next days. We can then always hook up the regulator properly after this
is done.

Please wait a bit until sending V3, I want to have another look at the
V2 novena DT.
