So, my understanding is that following change is expected
+CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE=m
+CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_HOST=m
+CONFIG_PCIE_CADENCE_EP=m
+CONFIG_PCI_J721E=m
+CONFIG_PCI_J721E_HOST=m
+CONFIG_PCI_J721E_EP=m
+CONFIG_PCI_EPF_NTB=m

I also want to inform that pci_j721e.c is a single file with both host
and EP functionality, last attempt to build it as modules depending on
host or EP selected failed because of symbols dependency.
Refactoring of pci_j721e.c into common, host and EP specific files could
work similar to the Cadence driver, So I will follow this way and push
the changes.

Please let me know if there are concerns.


Thanks,
Achal Verma
