The existing "linux,pci-probe-only" property applies at a system level and it is not possible to selectively convey individual host bridge's requirement w.r.t preserving the boot configuration done by the platform firmware to the kernel. "preserve-boot-config" addresses that concern and can be used to preserve the boot configuration for host bridges selectivey.
