Please look at "PCI Bus Binding to: IEEE Std 1275-1994 Standard for Boot
(Initialization Configuration) Firmware" (as referenced in DTSpec) and
explain how PCIe Relaxed Order has anything to do with the DT binding.

The premise for implementing a PCI-specific parser is that you claim we
need to do something with the phys.hi cell of a DT PCI address, rather
than just taking the numerical part out of the phys.mid and phys.lo
cells. Please make that argument in reference to the flags which that
upper cell actually encodes, not unrelated things.

Frankly, I'm losing patience with this attitude. Please look at the code
you call:
#define for_each_of_pci_range(parser, range) \
for (; of_pci_range_parser_one(parser, range);)
struct of_pci_range *of_pci_range_parser_one(struct of_pci_range_parser
*parser,
struct of_pci_range *range)
{
const int na = 3, ns = 2;
if (!range)
return NULL;
if (!parser->range || parser->range + parser->np > parser->end)
return NULL;
range->pci_space = parser->range[0];
range->flags = of_bus_pci_get_flags(parser->range);
range->pci_addr = of_read_number(parser->range + 1, ns);
range->cpu_addr = of_translate_address(parser->node,
parser->range + na);
...
u64 of_translate_address(struct device_node *dev, const __be32 *in_addr)
{
return __of_translate_address(dev, in_addr, "ranges");
}
I don't doubt that you still manage to get the right result on *your*
SoC, because you probably have neither further "ranges" nor "dma-ranges"
translations above your host controller node anyway. That does not
change the fact that the proposed code is still obviously wrong for more
complex DT topologies that do.
We're doing upstream work in core code here: I don't particularly care
about making your SoC work; I don't really care about making Juno work
properly either; what I do care about is that code to parse dma-ranges
actually parses dma-ranges *correctly* for all possible valid uses of
dma-ranges, which means fixing the existing bugs and not introducing
more. The principal side-effect of that is that *all* systems with valid
DTs will then work correctly.
Robin.
