We had that patch in previous series to retrieve PCI domain nicely. But 
that has bad implication to userspace. See:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/9/918

I understand that:
[PATCH V6 01/13] pci, acpi, x86, ia64: Move ACPI host bridge device 
companion assignment to core code.
helps to get firmware specific info in hisi_pcie_init but we need to 
figure out something better for quirk handling too.
