It should say 'root port' instead as the binding description correctly 
says.

It's only unusual because typically there's only 1 RP per host bridge 
and properties which really apply to the RP get stuck in the host bridge 
node because we don't have a RP node. An example is perst-gpios. That's 
not a property of the RP either, but the RP is the upstream side of a 
slot and we often don't have a node for the device either.
