I tried to do so, but it doesn't work properly. Let me explain what I
did and the behavior that I observe.

First of all, I didn't reimplement the pcibios_get_phb_of_node(), but
instead, as Thierry Reding suggested, simply implemented the
hw_pci.scan() function as follows:

static struct pci_bus *mvebu_pcie_scan_bus(int nr, struct pci_sys_data *sys)
{
	struct mvebu_pcie *pcie = sys_to_pcie(sys);
	return pci_scan_root_bus(&pcie->pdev->dev, sys->busnr,
				 &mvebu_pcie_ops, sys, &sys->resources);
}

This allows to pass the "struct device *" pointer, which ultimately
allows the PCI devices to carry a pointer to the corresponding DT node.

The DT representing my PCIe controller and its interfaces is the
following:

		pcie-controller {
			compatible = "marvell,armada-370-xp-pcie";
			status = "disabled";

			#address-cells = <3>;
			#size-cells = <2>;

			bus-range = <0x00 0xff>;

			ranges = <0x00000800 0 0xd0040000 0xd0040000 0 0x00002000   /* port 0.0 registers */
				  0x00001000 0 0xd0080000 0xd0080000 0 0x00002000   /* port 1.0 registers */
				  0x81000000 0 0	  0xc0000000 0 0x00010000   /* downstream I/O */
				  0x82000000 0 0	  0xc1000000 0 0x08000000>; /* non-prefetchable memory */

			#interrupt-cells = <1>;
			interrupt-map-mask = <0xf800 0 0 1>;
			interrupt-map = <0x0800 0 0 1 &mpic 58 /* port 0.0 */
					 0x1000 0 0 1 &mpic 62>; /* port 1.0 */

			pcie@0,0 {
				device_type = "pciex";
				reg = <0x0800 0 0xd0040000 0 0x2000>;
				#address-cells = <3>;
				#size-cells = <2>;
				marvell,pcie-port = <0>;
				marvell,pcie-lane = <0>;
				clocks = <&gateclk 5>;
				status = "disabled";
			};

			pcie@1,0 {
				device_type = "pciex";
				reg = <0x1000 0 0xd0080000 0 0x2000>;
				#address-cells = <3>;
				#size-cells = <2>;
				marvell,pcie-port = <1>;
				marvell,pcie-lane = <0>;
				clocks = <&gateclk 9>;
				status = "disabled";
			};
		};

So we have two PCIe interfaces. lspci shows the following output:

00:01.0 PCI bridge: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 1092
00:02.0 PCI bridge: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 1092
01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300
02:00.0 USB controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. Device 1040

So:

 * On bus 0, we have two PCI-to-PCI bridges. Those are emulated in
   software and allow the Marvell PCIe driver to get dynamic assignment
   of address decoding windows. The entries in the interrupt-map DT
   property match the bus number and slot number of those PCI-to-PCI
   bridges.

 * On bus 1, we have the real PCIe device connected to the first PCIe
   interface. This bus 1 is made "visible" thanks to the 00:01.0
   PCI-to-PCI bridge.

 * On bus 2, we have the real PCIe device connected to the second PCIe
   interface. This bus 2 is made "visible" thanks to the 00:02.0
   PCI-to-PCI bridge.

Now, when I call the of_irq_map_pci() function, the problem is that the
"struct pci_dev" that it receives is the one corresponding to the
particular PCIe device we're interested in. And this "struct pci_dev"
has a non-NULL pointer to the "struct device_node" representing
"pcie0,0" or "pci0,1" above. Since the "struct device_node" is
non-NULL, of_irq_map_pci() builds a laddr[] with the bus number and
devfn of this device: bus number is 1, devfn is 0. And this doesn't
match with the interrupt-map that is in my DT, which associates the
interrupts numbers with the PCI-to-PCI bridges rather than the devices
themselves.

To me, the "struct pci_dev" representing the real PCIe devices should
have a NULL "struct device_node" pointer, because those device are not
represented in the DT. If this was the case, then the of_irq_map_pci()
would go one level up in the PCI hierarchy, find the "struct pci_dev"
that corresponds to the PCI-to-PCI bridge, which generates an laddr[]
having a bus number a devfn value matching the interrupt-map property.

If I do the following hack in of_irq_map_pci(), then everything works
nicely:

                } else {
                        /* We found a P2P bridge, check if it has a node */
                        ppnode = pci_device_to_OF_node(ppdev);
+                       if (pdev->bus->number != 0)
+                               ppnode = NULL;
                }


What this hack does is that if we are not on bus 0, it means that the
pci_dev is a real PCIe device, and therefore we force the code to
asssume it does not have a DT reference.

Isn't there a problem here in the PCI/DT code ? Is it normal that a
PCIe device that isn't described in the DT carries a non-NULL struct
device_node pointer?

If you need some more details about the problem, do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks a lot for your help,

Thomas
