Perhaps I don't understand properly, but what good is the local bus address to any driver? I mean you'll have to have a PCI driver to bind to the PCI device, right? And that PCI driver will only need to obtain the register addresses from BAR1, then access that region. Why would you need to have it translated via DT? Thierry
