Thanks for your patch!

Unless I'm missing something, this is for the exact same hardware block as
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pci/rcar-pci.txt?
So shouldn't you amend those bindings, instead of adding new compatible
values?
Please remember that DT describes hardware, not software policy.
So IMHO choosing between host and endpoint is purely a configuration
issue, and could be indicated by the presence or lack of some DT properties.
E.g. host mode requires both "bus-range" and "device_type" properties,
so their absence could indicate endpoint mode.

What is the purpose of the last 4 regions?
Can they be chosen by the driver, at runtime?

These compatible values do not match with the ones above
(but they match with what I'd like to see ;-)
