Hmmm. okay that makes sense, but something still isn't quite right. So
of_translate_address should take care of drilling down through the bus
layers, and when it gets to the PCI node it /should/ use
of_bus_pci_translate to handle traversing down to the parent node (which
uses the 'assigned-addresses' for the pci node.
The address translation machinery requires PCI format addresses (ie
address-cells=3) for all nodes below a PCI bus. Part of this
requirement is that 'assigned-addresses' is used for resources, *not*
'reg'.

If you attempt to stick a 'reg' in a block nested below a
'device_type="pci"' the kernel throws lots of error messsages and
generates bad address mappings.
Have you added the appropriate #address-cells and #size-cells to the pci
device node to go back to a non-pci addressing mode? assigned-addresses
only makes sense in the pci-device node itself. reg should work for all
nodes below that, and if it doesn't then it is a bug that we need to
fix.
