I assume this ordering requirement applies to both Cadence and
DesignWare, i.e., drivers/pci/endpoint must be linked before
drivers/pci/cadence and drivers/pci/dwc.

If so, please add a one-line comment in the Makefile, e.g.,

  obj-$(CONFIG_PCI_ENDPOINT) += endpoint/

  # endpoint library must be initialized before its users
  obj-$(CONFIG_PCI_CADENCE)  += cadence/
  obj-y                      += dwc/

I think the "PCI dwc controller drivers" comment adds no real value.
