I tried to put a pci-xtalk driver into drivers/pci/controller, but
Lorenzo didn't want it there for being MIPS and not DT based. So this
one is DT based, but still MIPS. I'm perfectly fine putting this
driver into drivers/pci/controller/

Lorenzo, what's your opinion ?

Thomas.

good idea. [ RFC1925, 2.3 ]
