Sorry I wasn't clear, overall my concern here is that xhic-pci maintainers,
both in u-boot y linux (as I'd like to have the same solution on both sides,
since it involves changes in dt), might see it as too platform specific to add
it into an otherwise generic xhci-pci implmentation.

But nevermind, I'll just post the series and see what happens :).
