The first fix certainly is a problem. It's going to need something
besides size to key off of (originally it was dependent on order of
dma-ranges entries).

The 2nd issue is the 'dma-ranges' has a second entry that is now ignored:

dma-ranges = <0x42000000 0x40 0x00 0x40 0x00 0x40 0x00 0x00>, <0x00
0x79000000 0x00 0x79000000 0x00 0x800000>;

Based on the flags (3rd addr cell: 0x0), we have an inbound config
space which the kernel now ignores because inbound config space
accesses make no sense. But clearly some setup is needed. Upstream, in
contrast, sets up a memory range that includes this region, so the
setup does happen:

<0x42000000 0x00 0x00000000 0x00 0x00000000 0x80 0x00000000>

Minimally, I suspect it will work if you change dma-ranges 2nd entry to:

<0x42000000 0x79000000 0x00 0x79000000 0x00 0x800000>

While we shouldn't break existing DTs, the moonshot DT doesn't use
what's documented upstream. There are multiple differences compared to
what's documented. Is upstream supposed to support upstream DTs,
downstream DTs, and ACPI for XGene which is an abandoned platform with
only a handful of users?
