The rule is bridge nodes should have 'device_type = "pci"'. But what's
needed to fix these cases is setting device_type where we are parsing
ranges or dma-ranges which we're not doing on the child ndes.
Otherwise, I don't think it matters in this case unless you have child
(grandchild here) nodes for PCI devices. If you did have child nodes,
the address translation was already broken before this change.

The only upstream board is DB820c, so probably not as wide an impact...

There are also 92 (lots of duplicates due to multiple boards) more
cases in arch/arm/. A log is here[1].

I think we should go with my other suggestion of looking at the node
name. Looks like just checking 'pcie' is enough. We can skip 'pci' as
I don't see any cases.
