Hi Tomasz,

From the functionality point of view this series may be split into the
following logic parts:
1. Export ECAM API and add parent device to pci_config_window
2. Add IO resources handling to PCI core code
3. Support for generic domain assignment based on ACPI
4. New MCFG driver
5. Implement ARM64 ACPI based PCI host controller driver under arch/arm64/

Patches has been built on top of 4.7-rc1 and can be found here:

Trivial comments while I work on the rest:

  - Run "git log --oneline" on the files you change and make sure the
    subject lines match existing style.

  - Always capitalize "PCI" and "ACPI".

  - Use a capitalized verb as the first word after the "PCI: " prefix
    in a changelog subject.

  - Don't add a period at the end of a changelog subject.

  - Wrap changelogs so "git log" output fits in 80 columns.  I use
    "set textwidth=75" in vim.

  - Always use "()" after function names.

  - Don't write "This patch does ..." in a changelog.  It's obvious
    that the context is this patch, so write something like "Update
    users of the header file to use the new name."  I like it when
    there's a little bit of background followed by a short paragraph
    starting with a strong verb that tells me what the patch does.

I usually fix all this sort of stuff silently, but I'm slow and it scales
better if you do it.

Don't bother posting an update until I have a chance to look at the code
itself.  I'm sure (at least, I hope) I'll have more substantive comments
than these :)
