Just to be clear, I'm only interested in removing the bdc_pci.c file and not the rest of the BDC driver. I talked to the hardware engineer that designed the BDC core and he said that there were only a few of these PCIe/FPGA boards. They were used for development until the BDC core was added to various ARM SoC's as a memory mapped platform bus controller. The original PCIe boards are no longer in existence.
