Hello Joao

Since commit 442ec4c04d12, we now have two different ops,
dw_pcie_ops (ops for dw_pcie) and dw_pcie_host_ops (ops for a pcie_port),
note that they are different. The dw_pcie_ops is missing for pcie-artpec6
and pcie-designware-plat (since we are using the generic link-up function).

Before commit 442ec4c04d12, dw_pcie_writel_dbi had dw_pcie_host_ops as
parameter, after the commit it has dw_pcie_ops as parameter.
It should crash on pcie-designware-plat as well, since there are other
functions, like dw_pcie_link_up, that assumes that pci->ops != null.

Another alternative to adding the dummy ops would be to add null checks
for all uses off pci->ops in pcie-designware.c.
I don't like the idea to sprinkle null checks everywhere pci->ops is used.

One could add a null check in dw_pcie_host_init, but without a dummy ops
we would still fail this check, so our drivers would still be non-functional
in Linus's tree.
