Switching away from the 5 dword address format is not ideal
because then there is no way to specify the resource region (prefetch,
io, mmio) and mmio would have to be assumed.

Okay.. but how should the DTS be constructed?

pcie_bus { // The PCI-E bus
   device_type = "pci";
   ranges = <5dw ranges>;
   #address-cells = <3>;
   #size-cells = <2>;
   soc_bridge { // The PCI-E device
      device_type = "pci";
      ranges = <5dw ranges>;

      soc_device { // Internal device
          assigned-address = <5dw regs>
      };
   };
};

This is what I have now, the soc_bridge PCI-E device is DTS modeled as
a PCI bridge - it has a ranges with its memory location, and the
children nodes are relative to those ranges. This would not be typical
for a non-bridge PCI-E device.

The reason for the 'assigned-address' requirement with the current
kernel code is the device_type=pci on soc_bridge. This makes
of_match_bus(parent) for soc_device return the PCI structure, which
has '.addresses = "assigned-addresses",'

So.. how would you like this to look?
