pcie_imx: Update header to describe it as a legacy driver
Since now we have the modern pcie_dw_imx.c driver for iMX SoCs, encourage people to switch to that for any further new iMX SoC support or even for the older iMX6 SoCs too.

* Based on upstream Linux kernel driver:

+ * This is a legacy PCIe iMX driver kept to support older iMX6 SoCs. It is
+ * rather tied to quite old port of pcie-designware driver from Linux which
+ * suffices only iMX6 specific needs. But now we have modern PCIe iMX driver
+ * (drivers/pci/pcie_dw_imx.c) utilizing all the common DWC specific bits from
+ * (drivers/pci/pcie_dw_common.*). So you are encouraged to add any further iMX
+ * SoC support there or even better if you posses older iMX6 SoCs then switch
+ * those too in order to have a single modern PCIe iMX driver.
