Add an option to enable PCIe root port coalescing
Background: The PCI spec (3.0-3.2.2.3.4) requires that PCI devices implement function 0. The Linux Kernel therefore will not enumerate a PCI device if it does not present a valid config space at function 0. If a board does not have anything connected to root port 0 and it is desired to disable the unused ports in order to save power then this will cause the other downstream PCIe devices to go missing as they will not be enumerated. Intel chipsets provide a way to map root port numbers to different PCI function numbers, thereby avoiding this issue and allowing root port 0 to be turned off. This change adds a new chip config option 'pcie_port_coalesce' that will collapse the enabled root ports into a linear map starting at zero. This option defaults to disabled as it can have a confusing effect on the system as the declared static devicetree may not match what is seen at runtime. This option is also forced on if the static devicetree disables port 0. When each root port is processed in the early enable stage it looks for a lower numbered root port that has been disabled and then swaps the two assigned function numbers. However the mapping register is write-once so it has to keep track of the proposed mapping changes until all ports have been processed before writing out the final map value. At this point it also updates the function numbers in the static device tree so they are consistent with the new layout. There are a few other closely related fixes in this change: 1) There is a power savings opportunity if an entire bank of ports (0-3 or 4-7) are disabled. This was checking the chipset revision to look for CougarPoint B1+ stepping and that was not passing on PantherPoint where this should always be applied. To fix this I added a function to determine the chipset type based on comparing the upper byte of the device ID. 2) Apply the same chipset type check fix to the IOBP programming. 3) There is another power savings opportunity to enable dynamic clock gating on shared PCIe resources which only applies to ports 0 and 4. However if 0 or 4 is disabled then the later check to enable this would fail as that device is already hidden.
