Hi Chris, Lorenzo,

Thanks for looking into this.

Yes, I am open for this approach and I think it may work. I can
+ check the pci_config_window resource start address (cfg->res.start)
to figure out the controller and then get the fixed controller
register address
or
+ using the domain number to identify the controller.

Duc Dang.
