My understanding is that we want pcie-tegra194.c to be:

   - Built into the kernel when CONFIG_PCIE_TEGRA194=m or =y and
     CONFIG_ACPI=y and CONFIG_PCI_QUIRKS=y.  If we're using the ACPI
     pci_root.c driver, we must have the MCFG quirk built-in, and this
     case worked as I expected (this is on x86):

       $ grep -E "CONFIG_(ACPI\>|PCI_QUIRKS|PCIE_TEGRA194)" .config
       CONFIG_ACPI=y
       CONFIG_PCI_QUIRKS=y
       CONFIG_PCIE_TEGRA194=y
       CONFIG_PCIE_TEGRA194_HOST=m
       CONFIG_PCIE_TEGRA194_EP=y

       $ rm drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pcie-tegra194.*o
       $ make drivers/pci/controller/dwc/
	...
	CC      drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pcie-tegra194.o
	AR      drivers/pci/controller/dwc/built-in.a

   - Built as a module when CONFIG_PCIE_TEGRA194=m and CONFIG_ACPI is
     not set.  In this case, we're not using the ACPI pci_root.c
     driver, and we don't need the MCFG quirk built-in, so it should be
     OK to build a module, and IIUC this patch is supposed to *allow*
     that.  But in my testing, it did *not* build a module.  Am I
     missing something?

       $ grep -E "CONFIG_(ACPI\>|PCI_QUIRKS|PCIE_TEGRA194)" .config
       # CONFIG_ACPI is not set
       # CONFIG_PCI_QUIRKS is not set
       CONFIG_PCIE_TEGRA194=y
       CONFIG_PCIE_TEGRA194_HOST=m
       CONFIG_PCIE_TEGRA194_EP=y

The problem appears to be that you still have CONFIG_PCIE_TEGRA194=y and
CONFIG_PCIE_TEGRA194_EP=y above. If I have ...

Huh.  I can't set CONFIG_PCIE_TEGRA194 directly; it's only selectable
by PCIE_TEGRA194_HOST and PCIE_TEGRA194_EP.  PCIE_TEGRA194 is
tristate, but apparently kconfig sets it to the most restrictive,
which I guess makes sense.

So I would expect the shared infrastructure to be built-in if either
driver is built-in, but it's somewhat confusing that
CONFIG_PCIE_TEGRA194_HOST=m results in a builtin driver.  If I can set
CONFIG_PCIE_TEGRA194_HOST and CONFIG_PCIE_TEGRA194_EP independently,
it seems like they should *be* independent.

What is the purpose of PCIE_TEGRA194_EP (added by c57247f940e8 ("PCI:
tegra: Add support for PCIe endpoint mode in Tegra194") [1])?  I don't
see any reference to it in a makefile or a source file.

It looks like one can build a single driver that works in either host
or endpoint mode, depending on whether a DT node matches
"nvidia,tegra194-pcie" or "nvidia,tegra194-pcie-ep".

So I think PCIE_TEGRA194_EP is superfluous and should be removed and
you should have a single tristate Kconfig option.

This is a good point.

Sagar, any reason for this?
Although it is the same driver that works for both HOST mode and EP mode, PCIE_TEGRA194_EP depends on PCI_ENDPOINT whereas the PCIE_TEGRA194_HOST mode doesn't. Similarly the PCIE_TEGRA194_HOST mode depends on PCI_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN which PCIE_TEGRA194_EP doesn't depend on. It is possible to have end point mode support disabled (at sub-system level) in the system yet pcie-tegra194 can be compiled for the host mode vice-a-versa for the endpoint mode. Hence, appropriate config HOST/EP needs to be selected to make sure that the rest of the dependencies are enabled in the system.
Hope I'm able to give the rationale correctly here.
