Not much at all, I think this was defined mostly for open firmware
client interfaces, which we don't use with FDT.

n, t and r are probably only used in PCI functions that are listed
in DT, not in the host bridge.

b/d/f I think is mostly used for the interrupt-maps property, when
describing hardwired interrupts.

p and s are used when setting up the translation for inbound MMIO
and PIO.
