Not directly, but pci->cfg.bus_range is a resource populated from the
"bus-range" property in the device-tree, so it's changing how the driver
uses that property.

I don't follow you here. The mapping functions explicitly subtract the
start of the bus range when calculating the window offset:

  resource_size_t idx = bus->number - pci->cfg.bus_range->start;

so if I have bus-range = <128 255>; then bus 128 lives at the start of
the configuration space described by the reg property, not bus 0.

Sorry if I'm being thick; I just can't see the inconsistency.

I think you're the first to exercise this code, so it's definitely worth
us fixing whatever's going wrong.

Can we drop this part for now if it's not actually needed?
