The result was that a new serie [1] which add support to create the PCI devices of_node if not existing, and then allow drivers to applies an overlay which describe the tree of devices as a child of a specific PCI device of_node. There are a lot of advantages to this approach (small patchset working for all susbystems, easier to use, description is using already existing device-tree). There are still some concerns about the viability of dynamic overlay but this might be settled soon.
