No, you do it when first finding the bus itself, just like we do for
PCI host bridges.

The children should only be scanned after the I/O range has been
registered for the parent.

Ok, so this would have to be changed again: If we want to support multiple
bus domains, of_translate_address() must translate between the bus specific
address and the general Linux I/O port number. Even without doing that,
it seems nicer to not overlap the range of the first PCI host bridge.
