SubjectRe: [PATCH v8 6/8] PCI: dwc: Add dw_pcie_host_ops.host_exit() callback

Isn't supporting hotplug or not a board level decision? And hotplug
doesn't have to mean physical plug/unplug. For example, you could have a
soldered down PCIe device which needs regulators, resets, clocks, etc.
for that device to be initialized before the link comes up. If that
device is handled by a module loaded some time later, then the link may
be down when you probe.

I think the way this all needs to work is with runtime PM. If that's all
in place, then either you shutdown clocks/power on timeout or via sysfs
suspend. If there's a child device, then that should prevent suspending.

I'm not really a fan of adding more ops nor the ops which aren't too
specific about what they do. 'init' and 'exit' can be anything. I'd
rather see more specific ops with the DWC core driver in charge of
sequence of operations and the state.
