Please explain it in the commit message, it helps us to understand why
you did it.

Anyway, based on what you said, your approach looks wrong.

Firstly, the platform code is DT-centric and we don't expect to have a
such things for ACPI.

Secondly, the PCI host code be shared between multiple platform.

Overall, I would prefer to have a separate file and structure for
handling PCI host. Also, I think we could re-use the Linux code for this
purpose.
