I'm not sure exactly what "PCI_LEGACY" above refers to.
I don't see any direct #includes of arch/mips in the driver. I do see that it uses mips_cps_numiocu(), which is certainly MIPS-specific.
But we do have some things in drivers/pci/controller/ that only build on certain arches, enforced mostly by Kconfig rules, so I think you could do that. We try to make so things can at least be *compiled* on any arch, but I know that's not always possible.
So I think it would be useful to put this in drivers/pci/controller/ somewhere because it will make it easier to see common patterns and refactoring opportunities.
