Repeating what you've said to verify my understanding: you are OK with
the "linux,pci-domain" being handled in the PCI framework and mandatory
to all OF-based host bridges and architectures. Failure to include
the property should be an error and no host bridge driver should default
to the auto-generation of domain numbers.
Is that correct?
