Hi Lucas, Thanks for taking care of this, sorry it slipped through the cracks of last minute changes in this area. > --- > Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pci/pci.txt | 10 ++++++++++ > 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pci/pci.txt b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pci/pci.txt > index 41aeed38926d..b754f786ed5e 100644 > --- a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pci/pci.txt > +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pci/pci.txt > @@ -7,3 +7,13 @@ And for the interrupt mapping part: > > Open Firmware Recommended Practice: Interrupt Mapping > http://www.openfirmware.org/1275/practice/imap/imap0_9d.pdf > + > +Additionally to the properties specified in the above standards a host bridge > +driver implementation may support the following properties: > + > +- linux,pci-domain: > + If present this property assigns a fixed PCI domain number to a host bridge, > + otherwise an unstable (across boots) unique number will be assigned. > + It is recommended to either not set this property at all or set it for all > + host bridges in the system, otherwise potentially conflicting domain numbers > + may be assigned to root buses behind different host bridges. > -- > 2.1.1 > While the description is potentially correct, what it fails to explain is that the choice of using the property or generating an unstable (across boots) unique number is actually the choice of the host bridge driver at the moment. I know that my earlier implementations were defaulting to the automatic numbering, but that has been dropped from the final series as Rob Herring was objecting to it. There is still scope to adopt a wide policy here, but for now it should say something to the tune: If present this property assigns a fixed PCI domain number to a host bridge, otherwise an unstable (across boots) unique number will be assigned. If you decide to use the property to assign a fixed PCI domain number to a host bridge you have to ensure that all the host bridge drivers present in the system follow the same policy. Otherwise, potentially conflicting domain numbers may be assigned to root busses behind different host bridges.
