Unrelated, but if anybody is looking at pciehp, is there value in
having pciehp split across five files?

  drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp.h
  drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp_core.c
  drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp_ctrl.c
  drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp_hpc.c
  drivers/pci/hotplug/pciehp_pci.c

To me, it just makes things harder because when I'm browsing for
something in pciehp and I don't know the exact name of it, I have to
guess which file it's in, and I'm invariably wrong.

It seems like it would be much simpler if everything were in a single
pciehp.c file.  Then we could also get rid of the header and make
several more things static.
