[RFC PATCH 0/2] Add PCI driver for the Apple M1

From: Alyssa Rosenzweig

This adds a PCIe driver for the internal bus on the Apple M1 (and
presumably other Apple system-on-chips). It's based on the work of Marc
Zyngier, Mark Kettenis, and Stan Skowronek (Corellium). In conjunction
with a proper device tree and a GPIO driver, this enables the USB type-A
ports and the Ethernet port. It also paves the way for Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth, but that requires further work. The device tree patch is not
included here, as it depends on the GPIO driver which is still
work-in-progress. Nevertheless, I feel comfortable submitting "PCI: apple:
Add driver for the Apple M1".

I expect review feedback will be concentrated on the device tree
bindings. These bindings are a mish-mash of what's in the Marc's initial
driver, Corellium driver, and Mark's U-Boot downstream. They differ from
Maz's bindings by including nodes necessary for hardware bring-up, but
are simplified from Corellium's bindings by omitting tunables which are
handled by the Asahi Linux bootloader (m1n1). I am new to device tree
and expect "dt-bindings: PCI: Add Apple PCI controller" to need changes.
This was my first time working with YAML bindings; please be gentle :-)

I've collected the patches required to test this branch on this branch:

https://github.com/mu-one/linux/commits/pcie

This branch is based on linux-next and contains a GPIO (pinctrl) driver,
this series, and updates to the M1 (T8103) device tree. The type-A ports
and Ethernet should work out-of-the-box on that tree, provided the
kernel is booted through m1n1. This is a noticeable improvement on Maz's
initial PCIe driver, which required U-Boot to function.

I've started using Linux on M1 as my workstation for Panfrost
development, so this should have 40 hours of testing by this time next
week.
