What does 0 represent here? There's no 0 address in 'ranges' below.
Since you said the parent is a PCI-PCI bridge, then the unit-address
would have to be the PCI devfn and you are missing 'reg' (or omitted
it).

The parent is a PCI-PCI bridge. Child nodes have to be PCI devices and
"simple-bus" is not a PCI device.

The assumption so far with all of this is that you have some specific
PCI device (and therefore a driver). The simple-buses under it are
defined per BAR. Not really certain if that makes sense in all cases,
but since the address assignment is dynamic, it may have to. I'm also
not completely convinced we should reuse 'simple-bus' here or define
something specific like 'pci-bar-bus' or something.

It's possible that we should fill in 'dma-ranges' when making these
nodes rather than supporting missing dma-ranges here.
