This is my updated attempt at adding support for generic PCI host
bridge controllers that make use of device tree information to
configure themselves. This version incorporates Catalin's proposal
for managing domain numbers that got Bjorn's approval. I am now requesting
ACKs from the relevant maintainers as I would like to get the upstream ball
rolling.

Of the more important changes vs v8, this version has an altered implementation
of of_create_pci_host_bridge() that allows for easier conversion of architectures
that use pci_scan_root_bus() in their code rather than pci_create_root_bus().
With my v8 version of the patchset it would've meant adding back the code
from pci_scan_root_bus() into architectural code. v9 fixes that and adds
a callback parameter to of_create_pci_host_bridge() that permits the host
controller driver to finish the driver setup before the bus is being scanned.

To repeat for the benefit of people writing host bridge drivers on top of
my patchset: the API for of_create_pci_host_bridge() has changed and it will now
do all the child bus and device scanning for you, so you only need to provide a
setup function that will be called before scanning start. I will post a patch
that Lorenzo has kindly constructed for converting pci-host-generic.c to my API.

would it be possible to provide a branch with this patch set in your
git repo as for v8?

This would make rebasing and testing of our Cavium Thunder code base
much easier. We could then also refer to a public repo where our
patches base on.

Thanks,
