This series initially added explicit offsets but I suggested a single 
"controller-id" because:
  * There are multiple bit and byte offsets
  * Other imx8 SOCs also have 2x pcie with other bit/byte offsets

Hiding this behind a compatible string and single "controller-id" seem 
preferable to elaborating register maps in dt bindings. It also makes 
upgrades simpler: if features are added which use other bits there is no 
need to describe them in DT and deal with compatibility headaches.

It's possible my suggestion was misguided.
