Hi Thomas,

I'll gladly test these patches on my faithful Orion ED Mini V2. Not sure 
if it uses PCIe, but I suspect it does not.

How does this play out with U-Boot? I mean, I know that you can produce 
a kernel which embeds the device tree and will load without U-Boot 
knowing anything about them, but OTOH, U-Boot has some support for DTs, 
and could possibly use the DT files too.

Thanks to you!
