Lucas has a point - it is fine to handle them as you do in this patch,
it does not make much sense to add a property for something that
strictly depends on the compatible string.

The addition of this callback was done in MSI-X patch series before I take over
the PCIe Designware driver responsibility. However I remember a thread in which
this subject was discussed (see [1]), maybe this could bring some light about
the motive why is was done like this. If you don't agree I can do patch after
this series only focusing on this topic in order to do like to suggested.

The addition of this callback was done in MSI-X patch series before I take over
the PCIe Designware driver responsibility. However I remember a thread in which
this subject was discussed (see [1]), maybe this could bring some light about
the motive why is was done like this. If you don't agree I can do patch after
this series only focusing on this topic in order to do like to suggested.

I think that a DT property instead of a callback would have made more
sense - I struggle to see the point in defining a callback to initialize
a variable, this can be done in the generic dwc code (and a DT binding).
