I took the liberty and refactored the entire document which is being added,
changing the wording and formatting it a little bit.  Have a look at:

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pci/pci.git/commit/?h=controller/rcar-gen4&id=2bdf6ffe9f66d74a6baed3012d78f580c66c0583

Let me know if anything needs to be changed.

Thank you!
