But of_pci_get_host_bridge_resources() does not request the resources, it only
creates them out of the DT ranges. If/when the driver decides the list of
resources is correct and it can work with it can also request them and use
whatever domain number allocation strategy it wants (auto-incrementing or DT
based). So I don't think the global sequencing is broken here.
So how does mvebu now allocate a unique domain number per mvebu_pcie?

Which hw_pci callback should do that?
It is done through core code in pci_create_root_bus(), that in turn
calls pci_bus_assign_domain_nr() which is implemented now in pcibios
for arm, it is all in patch 2. What Liviu is saying is correct, it all
depends on *when* the resource naming should be applied. For code
relying on pcibios the setup hw_pci hook() is likely to be the place where
resources are requested and the domain is not set-up yet there with
the generic PCI domains approach, hence I can't attach a domain number
to the resource names in question.
