Yes will change to must.

EA is for functions which are permanently connected to host bridge.
In our case all the on chip devices use EA and bridges which are there for
connecting off chip devices use EA with fixed bus numbers as zero.
Bus numbers for those bridges need to be configured as per
normal enumeration, failing to do so makes those bridges not functional
because secondary and subordinate bus numbers are 0.

Ok will CC stable from v2

I don't think it is needed since we read hardwired values from HW.

This is intentional just to avoid else case.

Thanks for review. I will send v2.
