Is there a function name for this fixup that you can mention?

I guess "both initializations" means brcm_pcie_probe() and something
else?  It'd be nice to include that function name here, too.

It'd be nice to know the nature of this dependency between the
firmware interface and the fixups.  This may be useful for future
maintenance.  E.g., if PCI config access doesn't work until the
firmware interface is up, that would affect almost everything.  But
you say "some PCI fixups", so I suppose the actual dependency is
probably something else.
