One more point here: I think ACPI does something different here,
it lists the base address of mmconfig space of the the PCI domain
that the host bridge belongs to. In contrast, in DT the 'reg'
property is defined as the registers belonging to the host bridge
itself, and the DT does not say anything about domains at all
(aside from the linux,pci-domain property that is not mandatory
and a Linux-specific extension).
