They are different controllers.

Qualcomm QDF2432 only supports ECAM mode only and is designed for
ACPI based server products by the Data Center division. 

If somebody really needs device tree for QDF2432 server chip even though
we don't officially support it, generic host driver with ECAM mode
is the way to go.

Even there, we need a small patch to pci_generic_ecam_ops as follows due
to quirky HW.  Generic host driver won't work out of the box.

struct pci_ecam_ops pci_generic_ecam_ops = {
        .bus_shift      = 20,
        .pci_ops        = {
                .map_bus        = pci_ecam_map_bus,
-                .read           = pci_generic_config_read,
+                 .read           = pci_generic_config_read32,
-                .write          = pci_generic_config_write,
+                .write          = pci_generic_config_write32,
        }
};

This is essentially what pci_32b_ops is. Since device-tree is not officially
supported, we didn't bother making changes to the generic host bridge driver.

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci.git/commit/?h=pci/ecam&id=2bb62a60711e

is the only thing needed for QDF2432.
