Yes, I think your initial reply and my v2 must have crossed in 
mid-flight.  Then I was on holiday, but now I can respond...

Technically it is a PCI host controller at the root, and doesn't become 
PCIe until we traverse a PCIe RC bridge,  Because of this, and also 
because there is deployed firmware supplying this compatible string, I 
would like to keep the name as is.

If you really want consistency, we could rename the driver (and this 
binding description file) to be pci-thunder-pem.

That is purely cosmetic, as the names are not used for anything.  I can 
change it as you suggest.
