[PATCH 1/5] ArmVirtPkg/PciHostBridgeDxe: don't set linux, pci-probe-only DT property

[Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>]

Setting the linux,pci-probe-only was intended to align OSes booting via
DT with OSes booting via ACPI in the way they honor the PCI configuration
performed by the firmware. However, ACPI on arm64 does not currently honor
the firmware's PCI configuration, and the linux,pci-probe-only completely
prevents any PCI reconfiguration from occurring under the OS, including
what is needed to support PCI hotplug.

Since the primary use case was OS access to the GOP framebuffer (which
breaks when the framebuffer BAR is moved when the OS reconfigures the
PCI), we can undo this change now that ArmVirtQemu has moved to a GOP
implementation that does not expose a raw framebuffer in the first place.
