Something to think about, other people are going to reference this driver when writing drivers for their own hardware, it would be nice to see it perfect.. AFAIK, the job is fairly simple, when you call pci_add_resource_offset for memory compute the offset from of_pci_range.pci_addr - of_pci_range.cpu_addr (or is it the other way around ?) And when you do it for IO then you compute the offset between the requested io mapping base to the pci_addr. > > * You might have multiple sections of the PCI bus space mapped > > into CPU physical space.

Fortuantely if you compute the offset directly from the DT then you don't need to do anything more. If someone wants to use this arrangement then they just have to setup the HW and write a proper DT with two ranges lines for memory and everything should just work. > Okey doke, is anybody working on that?
