Here's what these look like in /proc/iomem and /proc/ioports (note that there are two resource structs for each memory-mapped IO port space: one IORESOURCE_MEM for the memory-mapped area (used only by the host bridge driver), and one IORESOURCE_IO for the I/O port space (this becomes the parent of a region used by a regular device driver): /proc/iomem: PCI Bus 0000:00 I/O Ports 00000000-00000fff PCI Bus 0001:00 I/O Ports 01000000-01000fff /proc/ioports: 00000000-00000fff : PCI Bus 0000:00 01000000-01000fff : PCI Bus 0001:00OK, I have a question that might be ovbious to you but I have missed the answer so far: how does the IORESOURCE_MEM area gets created? Is it the host bridge driver's job to do it? Is it something that the framework should do when it notices that the IORESOURCE_IO is memory mapped?
The host bridge driver should either register the IORESOURCE_MEM resource itself from its probe or setup function, or it should get registered behind the covers in drivers using of_create_pci_host_bridge(). Your new pci_host_bridge_of_get_ranges already loops over all the resources, so it would be a good place to put that. Arnd
