This yaml has a mix-up of device P/N (belonging to AC3, BC2) and PCIe IDs (belonging to AC3X, Aldrin2)
Looks like a part of the yaml was updated, and another part was not

There is a reference here of actual usage of prestera switch device:
https://github.com/dentproject/linux/blob/dent-linux-5.15.y/arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/accton-as4564-26p.dts

So actual ranges and reg could be used instead of made up ones.

But the actual real life dts places the prestera at the top level of the dts, not under pci.

I am not aware of any dts/dtsi using such kind of switch node under pcie node, similar to the example given in the yaml file, and did not manage to find any under latest linux-next for both arm and arm64 dts directories (please correct me here if I am wrong).

So the question here is if this pci example really necessary for the prestera device, or can be removed altogether (which is what I think is best to do).
