It seems bindings were added incomplete and now based on DTS (which did
not match bindings), we keep adding "missing" properties. I don't think
it is good. It creates a precedence where someone might intentionally
sneak limited bindings (without controversial property) and later claim
"I forgot to include foo,bar".

Therefore the property should pass review just like it is newly added
property.

Name is not helping. If it is offset, add such suffix (see
brcm,iproc-pcie.yaml).

Unfortunately I don't know PCIe good enough to judge whether the
property makes any sense or some other ranges-style should be used.

minItems should not be needed, but you should instead describe the items
in the matrix.
