Since you didn't respond here, I assume these rev 1.0 parts have been
or will be shipped to end users?  Please confirm.

The beauty of Linux being open-source is that if you need something
that doesn't exist, you are empowered to create it.

We do have one place already (cns3xxx_pcie_hw_init()) that explicitly
sets pcie_bus_config.  You might be able to do something similar.
