Frank, why do you mis-inform about the idea? The point was to use the
ranges property for:
1. PCIe Config-space mapping.
2. PCIe TLP messages region.
There is _nothing_ DWC-specific in the original suggestion. Case 1 has
already implicitly defined by the DT standard, see the link above (but
for some reason hasn't been implemented in the PCIe subsystem). Case 2
hasn't been determined, but could be seeing there are three unused
bits in the ss-code of the phys.hi cell. All of that can be used by
_any_ PCIe RC/EP device.

Rob, could you please dive deeper in this thread? The idea is to use
the "ranges" property for the "config" (PCIe config space) and the
custom PCIe TLP messages regions.
