Okay, I can add such a description similar to what you propose below for
the clocks and clock-names properties. Something like this:
- interrupts: A list of interrupt outputs of the controller. Must contain an
entry for each entry in the interrupt-names property.
- interrupt-names: Must include the following entries:
"intr": The Tegra interrupt that is asserted for controller interrupts
"msi": The Tegra interrupt that is asserted when an MSI is received
Would that be acceptable?
I should probably update the reg properties in a similar way. Maybe like
so:
- reg: A list of physical base address and length for each set of controller
registers. Must contain an entry for each entry in the reg-names property.
- reg-names: Must include the following entries:
"pads": PADS registers
"afi": AFI registers
"cs": configuration space region

Actually the interrupt-names property is there specifically so that the
order doesn't matter. The driver uses platform_get_irq_byname(), using
"intr" and "msi" respectively so that they don't have to appear in a
specific order. I did this so that it is more in line with properties
such as clocks and reg.

Possibly. I wouldn't like to go too much into the details, though, since
the ranges property is not only rather complex but also well documented
in other places. But I could add some explanation about which entries
are expected and how they work together. In this case even order is
important. The port register entries need to be listed before the
non-prefetchable memory window entry, otherwise the ranges parser gets
confused. How does the following sound?
- ranges: Describes the translation of addresses for root ports and standard
PCI regions. The entries must be 6 cells each, where the first three cells
correspond to the address as described for the #address-cells property
above, the fourth cell is the physical CPU address to translate to and the
fifth and six cells are as described for the #size-cells property above.
- The first two entries are expected to translate the addresses for the root
port registers, which are referenced by the assigned-addresses property of
the root port nodes (see below).
- The remaining entries setup the mapping for the standard I/O, memory and
prefetchable PCI regions. The first cell determines the type of region
that is setup:
- 0x81000000: I/O memory region
- 0x82000000: non-prefetchable memory region
- 0xc2000000: prefetchable memory region
Please refer to the standard PCI bus binding document for a more detailed
explanation.

Okay, sounds good. Although the Tegra clocks are named somewhat
differently. "pex" is named "pcie" and "pcie_xclk" is "unassigned" (!)
according to the nvidia,tegra20-car.txt binding document. Perhaps I
should update the binding document to replace unassigned with pcie_xclk
for clock 74. And maybe rename pex in the PCIe binding to pcie to match
the CAR binding?

Yes, that's a good idea.

Would it be acceptable to annotate the 01:00.0 bridge with "optional"?
Like so:
pcie-controller {
...
pci@1,0 {
...
/* bridge 01:00.0 (optional) */
pci@0,0 {
...
};
};
};
Alternatively I could add something like below:
---snip---
Note that devices on the PCI bus are dynamically discovered using PCI's bus
enumeration and therefore don't need corresponding device nodes in DT. However
if a device on the PCI bus provides a non-probeable bus such as I2C or SPI,
device nodes need to be added in order to allow the bus' children to be
instantiated at the proper location in the operating system's device tree (as
illustrated by the optional nodes in the example above).
---snip---
Maybe I'll just do both.

As discussed above I think it'd be preferrable, in order to keep
dependencies simpler, to separate the changes into different patches.
Aside from the oddity on Harmony I don't think there's anything that
prevents that.

At the time when I wrote the patch to move the driver to drivers/pci,
there were no other drivers so I didn't think it necessary to split out
those changes. I had also been overly optimistic that the patches could
be merged at that point. Meanwhile there are a few more drivers that
will go into that directory, so yes they should go into a separate patch
like Thomas has done. If that makes it into 3.10, all the better.

Okay, thanks for reviewing.
