Better use an anonymous clock?

The driver also seems to use a phy that is not defined here.

This is an awfully small memory space for a 64 bit machine. Is that a hardware bug you
are working around? If not, please make it as large as you can to allow for arbitrary
extension cards with large BARs, at least 4GB.

Also, do you support no prefetchable memory?

I/O space at 0x80000000? That won't work with a lot of devices. Can you make it start
at bus address 0?

config space is not normally in the ranges property, and I think you will need
it in the pcie node itself as a 'reg' property so the code can access it.

Same here. Also I suspect this is a separate irqchip that isn't actually part
of the PCIe host. If they are separate devices, I'd strongly recommend modeling
them as separate device-nodes in DT to make reuse easier.

Only one IRQ for all devices?
