This patch modifies the ARM64 architecure specific PCI framework to

The quirks array allows each vendor to define his own
acpi_scan_handler where its own pci_ops can be defined
and the global pointer "vendor_specific_ops" should be
set to them accordingly.

I have a similar set of changes working for a APM based platform. That platform has the same problem, that the default config space access methods don't work.

The one comment I have is that I've tried hard to set it up as a generic quirk system for which the ACPI/PCI subsystem makes the decision about which hardware quirk is being enabled. But its hard because the platform in question claims PNP0A08 too, which IMHO is completely wrong if your not actually compliant. OTOH, I don't want to base it off the DMI data because I don't want it to be tied to a particular implementation.

Lucky, the host bridge VID/PID _CAN_ be read with the default ECAM accessor. The only gocha is that the rescan needs to be restarted once the ops are replaced.

So my question, is does that work for this device as well?
