See my comments to patch 25/63. It applies to all PCI stuff,
so I won't keep repeating it. Anyway, the final decision with
regards to file naming belongs to the docs maintainer and to
the PCI maintainer.

I would either rename this file or Documentation/driver-api/pci/pci.rst.
Even if the decision is to keep those on different directories, it
sounds a very bad idea on my eyes to keep two files with different
content and identical names on different directories that belong to
the same subsystem.
@PCI maintainers:
The MAINTAINERS file, at the PCI SUBSYSTEM part is missing
an entry for Documentation/driver-api/pci/.

Better to format this as a table, e. g.:
=============== =======================================================
field name Description
=============== =======================================================
id_table Pointer to table of device ID's the driver is
interested in. Most drivers should export this
table using MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(pci,...).
probe This probing function gets called (during execution
of pci_register_driver() for already existing
devices or later if a new device gets inserted) for
all PCI devices which match the ID table and are not
"owned" by the other drivers yet. This function gets
passed a `struct pci_dev *` for each device whose
entry in the ID table matches the device. The probe
function returns zero when the driver chooses to
take "ownership" of the device or an error code
(negative number) otherwise.
The probe function always gets called from process
context, so it can sleep.
remove The remove() function gets called whenever a device
being handled by this driver is removed (either during
deregistration of the driver or when it's manually
pulled out of a hot-pluggable slot).
The remove function always gets called from process
context, so it can sleep.
suspend Put device into low power state.
suspend_late Put device into low power state.
resume_early Wake device from low power state.
resume Wake device from low power state.
(Please see Documentation/power/pci.rst for
descriptions of PCI Power Management and the
related functions.)
shutdown Hook into reboot_notifier_list (kernel/sys.c).
Intended to stop any idling DMA operations.
Useful for enabling wake-on-lan (NIC) or changing
the power state of a device before reboot.
e.g. drivers/net/e100.c.
err_handler See Documentation/PCI/pci-error-recovery.rst

Same here:
Each entry consists of:
==================== =======================================================
vendor, device Vendor and device ID to match (or PCI_ANY_ID)
subvendor, subdevice Subsystem vendor and device ID to match (or PCI_ANY_ID)
class Device class, subclass, and "interface" to match.
See Appendix D of the PCI Local Bus Spec or
include/linux/pci_ids.h for a full list of classes.
Most drivers do not need to specify class/class_mask
as vendor/device is normally sufficient.
class_mask limit which sub-fields of the class field are compared.
See drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2/ for example of usage.
driver_data Data private to the driver.
Most drivers don't need to use driver_data field.
Best practice is to use driver_data as an index
into a static list of equivalent device types,
instead of using it as a pointer.

it like:

Documentation/DMA-API.txt. This section is just a reminder that
drivers need to indicate DMA capabilities of the device and is not
