You are right, the config space is almost the same and some ops also common.
I would suggest:
drivers/pci
drivers/pci/core/
drivers/pci/core/hotplug
drivers/pci/core/pcie
drivers/pci/core/<all other files inside pci/ today>
drivers/pci/dwc
drivers/pci/dwc/common.c -> common ops and registers between RC and endpoint
drivers/pci/dwc/host/
drivers/pci/dwc/endpoint/
What do you think?
Thanks.
