You've put these in the host bridge node and in *any* bridge node for 
pci-bus.yaml, but that's not where you have them in the example.

The question is where is the right place. Normally, I'd say that's in 
the node consuming or connected to the resource. That would be as you 
have the example. However, as we're talking about standard slots (or at 
least standard slot rails), we likely don't have node for the device in 
the slot and can't add one since it is likely unknown what the device 
is. In other cases, we'd define a connector or slot node, but there's 
not really a way to do that given the PCI bus topology is already 
defined. So I think the right place is the bridge node on the upstream 
side of the slot/connector. So the 'pci@0,0' node in your case.
