I think patch [1-2] should be merged regardless (they may require minor
tweaks if we decide to move pci_acpi_scan_root() to arch/arm64 though,
for include files location). I guess you are referring to patch 8 in
your comments above, which boils down to deciding whether:

- pci_acpi_scan_root() (and unfortunately all the MCFG/ECAM handling that
  goes with it) should live in arch/arm64 or drivers/acpi

acpi_pci_bus_domain_nr() is a bit more problematic since it is meant
to be called from PCI core code (ARM64 selects PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC for
DT and same kernel has to work with OF and ACPI selected) and it is
arch specific (because what we have in bus->sysdata is arch specific,
waiting for the domain number to be embedded in struct pci_host_bridge).

Your point is fair, I am not sure that moving the pci_acpi_scan_root()
to arch/arm64 would make things much simpler though, it is just a matter
of deciding where that code has to live.

How do you want us to proceed ?

Thanks,
Lorenzo
