Do we need support for pci-probe-only in pci-host-generic at all?
You're removing the use in amd-overdrive.dts, and there are no other
DTs in the kernel tree that mention it.

If we can live without it, that would be nice.  It seems like a relic from
days when we couldn't reliably assign resources.  (I'm not saying we can do
that reliably even today, but I'd rather make it reliable than turn it
off.)
