Hi Pali,
I don't see any mention or placement of the regulator nodes for power;
do you agree with where
I proposed we place them, ie in the first bridge under the root-complex,  e.g.

            pcie0: pcie@...00000 {                                /*
root complex */
                    compatible = "brcm,bcm2711-pcie";
                    reg = <0x0 0x7d500000 0x9310>;

                    /* PCIe bridge */
                    pci@0,0 {
                            #address-cells = <3>;
                            #size-cells = <2>;
                            reg = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0>;
                            compatible = "pciclass,0604";
                            device_type = "pci";
                            vpcie3v3-supply = <&vreg7>;     /*
<------------- HERE  */
                            ranges;

                            pci-ep@0,0 {        /* PCIe endpoint */
                                    assigned-addresses =
                                        <0x82010000 0x0 0xf8000000 0x6
0x00000000 0x0 0x2000>;
                                    reg = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0>;
                                    compatible = "pci14e4,1688";
                                    #address-cells = <3>;
                                    #size-cells = <2>;

                                    ranges;
                            };
                    };
            };
