Hello! I have already looked at this. But as I pointed in above
armada-385.dtsi file, mvebu is quite complicated. First it does not use
explicit address ranges, but rather macros MBUS_ID() which assign
addresses at kernel runtime by mbus driver. Second issue is that config
space range (like any other resources) are pcie root port specific. So
it cannot be in pcie controller node and in pcie devices is "reg"
property reserved for pci bdf address.

In last few days, I spent some time on this issue and after reading lot
of pcie dts files, including bindings and other documents (including
open firmware pci2_1.pdf) and I'm proposing following definition:

soc {
  pcie-mem-aperture = <0xe0000000 0x08000000>; /* 128 MiB memory space */
  pcie-cfg-aperture = <0xf0000000 0x01000000>; /*  16 MiB config space */
  pcie-io-aperture  = <0xf2000000 0x00100000>; /*   1 MiB I/O space */

  pcie {
    ranges = <0x82000000 0 0x40000     MBUS_ID(0xf0, 0x01) 0x40000  0x0 0x2000>,    /* Port 0.0 Internal registers */
             <0x82000000 0 0xf0000000  MBUS_ID(0x04, 0x79) 0        0x0 0x1000000>, /* Port 0.0 Config space */
             <0x82000000 1 0x0         MBUS_ID(0x04, 0x59) 0        0x1 0x0>,       /* Port 0.0 Mem */
             <0x81000000 1 0x0         MBUS_ID(0x04, 0x51) 0        0x1 0x0>,       /* Port 0.0 I/O */

    pcie@1,0 {
      reg = <0x0800 0 0 0 0>; /* BDF 0:1.0 */
      assigned-addresses =     <0x82000800 0 0x40000     0x0 0x2000>,     /* Port 0.0 Internal registers */
                               <0x82000800 0 0xf0000000  0x0 0x1000000>;  /* Port 0.0 Config space */
      ranges = <0x82000000 0 0  0x82000000 1 0           0x1 0x0>,        /* Port 0.0 Mem */
                0x81000000 0 0  0x81000000 1 0           0x1 0x0>;        /* Port 0.0 I/O */
    };
  };
};

So the pci config space address range would be defined in
"assigned-addresses" property as the _second_ value. First value is
already used for specifying internal registers (similar what is "parf"
for qcom).

config space is currently limited to 16 MB (without extended PCIe), but
after we find free continuous physical address window of size 256MB we
can extend it to full PCIe config space range.

Any objections to above device tree definition?
