pcibus_to_node() gets called from two places. The first place is 
pci_register_host_bridge() like you mentioned. 

The second place is pci_device_add(). pci_device_add() gets called for
every single device that is getting added to the system.

Yeah, that's what I was going to ask next about how other arches solve
this. Common solution to DT/ACPI is preferable as the issue exists in
both places unless DT has some other mechanism hidden behind the scenes.

I think this looks like the _CCA dance we are doing.
