I think Rafael meant the physical node (that in this case is the pci
bridge device) that is associated with the acpi device (the struct
pci_config_window.parent pointer points at the PNP0A03/PNP0A08 acpi
device object though, not the RES2 acpi device that's what you need).

Have a look at:

Documentation/acpi/enumeration.txt
Documentation/acpi/namespace.txt

The PNP0A08 acpi_device (that is what is pointed at by
struct acpi_device = to_acpi_device(pci_config_window.parent)
is the respective pci bridge device companion.

arch/arm64/kernel/pci.c (pcibios_root_bridge_prepare()).

Now for something completely different :), your RES2 pseudo-device.

IIUC platform device (physical node) is created by the ACPI enumeration
code for your RES2 pseudo-device and its resources are already
initialized (by parsing its _CRS) in acpi_create_platform_device().

This means that by the time you match the PNP0A03/PNP0A08 child with an
acpi_device with _HID == "HISI0081", you can get its associated
physical node and get its resources IOMEM through the physical
node (ie platform device and related resources) instead of re-parsing
the _CRS if I am not mistaken (and that's an IF because I did not
test it).

Regardless, I am not entirely sure there are kernel drivers/control
paths already using this mechanism to handle child devices (keeping in
mind that RES2 is not a real device at all, it is there to represent
PNP0A03 sub-address space for PCI quirks), so it would be good to get
Rafael's agreement on this approach to prevent abusing the current ACPI
platform devices glue code assumptions.

It would also be good to agree on the whole approach soundness.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
