I am not happy about this (that's what I am asking Rob to chime in please on DT side). 1) I do not think it is allowed to have two DT nodes in a dts with same unit address (ie same reg property) https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/dra7.dtsi?h=v4.14 2) In the Synopsis Designware PCIe interface bindings we have some properties that are for RC mode and some for EP mode but there is no way from a *binding* perspective to detect in what mode the controller is: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pci/designware-pcie.txt?h=v4.14 3) You can't use properties that in the bindings above are declared EP only for RC mode, we define bindings to respect their rules. 4) I think that a) a compatible should be added to the designware-pcie bindings to define endpoint mode and b) the same should be done for the ls1046a bindings. If the RC is programmed in EP mode DT firmware should be able to provide the information to an operating system, it is actually a _different_ component but on this I need DT people to chime in to define the best way forward. I cannot review/merge this code until the points above are clarified. Thanks, Lorenzo
