It is desired to have J7 PCIe working on upstream kernel by default. So to enable this I have pushed these defconfig changes. BTW, I am planning to hold this change until PCIe code changes (rest of the patches in this series) gets merged. Please let me know if there are more concern to this. Sorry, for this time.

The concerns are that commit msg does not explain this. Please always provide in commit msg answer to "why you are doing this". In case of defconfig the answer to "why" is: "board foo bar with SoC baz uses it". Best regards, Krzysztof
