[Minghuan Lian]  There is only one PCIe dts node in the dts file. PCIe dts node 
describes the PCIe controller's hardware properties and does not have work 
mode.  The new properties  "num-ib-windows " and "num-ob-windows" are used to 
describe the inbound/outbound window number included in the PCIe hardware. 
These windows are used in both RC and EP mode.  We can change work mode when 
resetting via RCW(reset configuration word).
