Before moving PCIe controller drivers to directory drivers/pci/controllers/, pci-layerscape.c can be matched correctly, but after that the pcie-designware-plat.c is matched instead of the pci-layerscape.c. So this patch is to avoid matching pcie-designware-plat.c by removing the "snps,dw-pcie".

Zhiqiang
