Right, though the ARM dependency could soon be dropped, once the PCIE_DW
driver can use generic infrastructure in the few places it relies on
ARM specific code today.

I would leave it in, as it's quite likely to get reused with ARM64 at some
point in the future (no, I don't know anything about ST's product plans,
but everybody seems to be doing this).
