pci_find_next_capability() API expects struct pci_dev * pointer and this can only
be used after PCIe devices got enumerated. APIs added in this patch solves the issue
of getting capability offsets before PCIe enumeration. FWIW, APIs in this patch
take struct dw_pcie * pointer as input.
As you suggested, I'll split this into two patches in my next series.
