I am Sorry!
I'll fix it.

There are two kinds of global register ( set/clear registers and
non-set/clear registers )
about PCIe on Unisoc SoCs.
Each set of set/clear registers contain two addresses. One can be
written and the other one
can be read. Different bits in  the set/clear register indicate
different functions, so we
set/clear one bit for power on/off.
The non-set/clear registers are normal which only have one address.

The second value in property 'sprd,pcie-poweron-syscons' is a flag
which indicates whether
the global register is set/clear or not. If this value is 1, we think
that it's a set/clear register.
If this value is 0, we think it's a non-set/clear register.

I wanted to parse all of the global registers about power on/off in an
array (include set/clear
registers and non-set/clear registers). However, it may not be a good idea.
I'll split the property 'sprd,pcie-poweron-syscons' info clocks, power
domains, phy and so on
in the next version.

Thanks! I'll fix it in the next version.
