+	  BCMA bus may have many versions of PCIe core. This driver

+	  1) PCIe core working in clientmode
+	  2) PCIe Gen 2 clientmode core
+
+	  In general PCIe (Gen 2) clientmode core is required on PCIe

+	  hardware management.
+	  This driver is also prerequisite for a hostmode PCIe core
+	  support.
