If you claim the entire 0-255 bus range, I think you should also
specify a domain, otherwise it's not predictable which domain you
get.
Liviu's code assigns a unique id to the domain if missing, see
of_pci_get_domain_nr(). So I don't think we need to add a "pci-domain"
property here.
Not anymore! That function is gone in v12 onwards. What is in -next has
a new function called of_get_pci_domain_nr() (slight name change) but
that only gets the value set in the "linux,pci-domain" property of the
device node. It is the choice of the host bridge driver to use that
function or to use pci_get_new_domain_nr() which *does* generate an
unique id every time it gets called.
Liviu's DT implementation that assigns a unique number differs a bit
from ACPI which states: "If _SEG [aka domain number] does not exist,
OSPM assumes that all PCI bus segments are in PCI Segment Group 0."

Maybe of_pci_get_domain_nr() should be similar to ACPI. If there are
multiple root bridges, the "pci-domain" property could be forced
instead.
Indeed. But the enforcing is left as an exercise to the host bridge
implementor for the moment.

Best regards,
Liviu
