Well I am getting smarter on this:

I have read through the PCI Bridge Specs and found another issue that might
have been causing a problem with the IDSEL lines. Unless you are interested
I'll forgo that explanation and just go with fact that I have changed the
IDSEL mappings to be legal when they are issued from the 83xx.

I have changed the IDSELs to be as follows, does this look correct?
I agree with placing the NODE for the bridge into the dts file to be
correct. Except I get stuck immediately at trying to come up with an
address. I.e. the PCI host has a PCI@8500, which makes sense. But the Bridge
chip doesn't have a mapped address to place in the file. I did read the PCI
OF node spec <dated 1996> it hints that PCI-PCI bridges are essentially the
same domain and may not need translation.

The unit address of a PCI device is it's bus/idsel/function, the
PCI-2-PCI bridge is no exception.  Thus it doesn't need to have an
assigned-address property, only "reg", which on PCI, doesn't contain
-assigned- addresses, but purely a description of the BARs. In fact, you
only really need the "reg" property for the config space itself which is
enough to give you a valid unit-address (@xxxx) for your bridge and to
make the PCI parsing code in linux happy.
