+* Synopsys Designware PCIe root complex in ECAM mode
+
+In some cases, firmware may already have configured the Synopsys Designware
+PCIe controller in RC mode with static ATU window mappings that cover all
+config, MMIO and I/O spaces in a [mostly] ECAM compatible fashion.
+In this case, there is no need for the OS to perform any low level setup
+of clocks or device registers, nor is there any reason for the driver to
+reconfigure ATU windows for config and/or IO space accesses at runtime.
+
+Such hardware configurations should be described as "pci-host-ecam-generic"
+if they are truly ECAM compatible. Configurations that require no low-level
+setup by the OS nor any ATU window reconfiguration at runtime, but do
+require special handling for type 0 config TLPs may instead be described as
+"snps,dw-pcie-ecam".
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: should contain "snps,dw-pcie-ecam".
+
+Please refer to the binding document of "pci-host-ecam-generic" in the
+file host-generic-pci.txt for a description of the remaining required
+and optional properties.
+
+
+* MSI support for Synopsys Designware PCIe root complex in ECAM mode
+
+Platforms that elect to perform all configuration of the RC in firmware
+and use the "pci-host-ecam-generic" or "snps,dw-pcie-ecam" binding to
+describe it to the OS may include a separate description of the embedded
+MSI controller in case no MSI support is available in the core interrupt
+controller.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible:      should contain "snps,dw-pcie-msi".
+- reg:             a single region describing the device registers.
+- interrupts:      interrupt specifier for the interrupt that is asserted when
+                   an MSI is received by the RC.
+- msi-controller:  empty property identifying this device as an MSI controller.
+
+Example for an implementation that routes all legacy INTx interrupts via SPI
+#188 and all MSI interrupts via SPI #190:
+
+  pcie at 20000000 {
+    compatible = "snps,dw-pcie-ecam";
+    device_type = "pci";
+    msi-parent = <&msi0>;
+    interrupt-map-mask = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0>;
+    interrupt-map = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 &gic GIC_SPI 188 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+    ...
+  };
+
+  msi0: msi at 10000000 {
+    compatible = "snps,dw-pcie-msi";
+    reg = <0x0 0x10000000 0x0 0x10000>;
+    interrupts = <GIC_SPI 190 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;
+    msi-controller;
+  };
