[Minghuan Lian] There is only one PCIe dts node in the dts file. PCIe dts node describes the PCIe controller's hardware properties and does not have work mode. The new properties "num-ib-windows " and "num-ob-windows" are used to describe the inbound/outbound window number included in the PCIe hardware. These windows are used in both RC and EP mode. We can change work mode when resetting via RCW(reset configuration word).
