Thanks. I still think something like my diff makes sense, if you wouldn't mind including
it, as it allows restricted DMA to be used for situations where the PCIe
topology is not static.

Perhaps we should prefer dev->of_node if it exists, but then use the node
of the host bridge's parent node otherwise?
