[RFC PATCH] PCI-E broken on PPC (regression)

Hello, 

I found that qlge is broken on PPC, and it got broken after commit 
06a1cbafb253c4c60d6a54a994887f5fbceabcc0. It happens because dev->pcie 
is not set on PPC, because the function set_pcie_port_type(), who sets
dev->pcie, is not being called on PPC PCI code.

So, I have two ideas to fix it, the first one is to call 
set_pcie_port_type() on pci_device_add() instead of pci_setup_device(). 
Since that PPC device flow calls pci_device_add(), it fixes the problem
without duplicating the caller for this function. 

OTOH, it's also possible to add set_pcie_port_type() on pci.h and call
it inside the PPC PCI files, specifically on of_create_pci_dev().

I tested both ideas and they work perfect, so I'd like to figure out 
which one is the most correct one. Both patches are attached here. 

Thanks, 
Breno
