Could we just have one module for the driver  instead of two?

Something like below (untested)

That thought crossed my mind, but I was considering merging the C files
and figured it might be more churn than the maintainer wanted.  If
maintainers are good with the below (assuming it works) then yes that
also seems reasonable.

I agree. Please note that Keystone PCI is tested only as static. 
I can help test the module if this series get to the next revision,
but it might be a while before I can do the test.
