I have no idea what this is telling me.  I guess you don't want to use
IMX8MQ_PCIE2_BASE_ADDR to decide something?  That much sounds good:
the *address* of some MMIO space doesn't tell us anything about the
function of that space.

I expect the "compatible" string to tell the driver what the
programming model of the device is.

Maybe I'm missing something here.  It looks like this driver uses
controller_id to distinguish between hardware variants or maybe
between two Root Ports (slots?) in the same SoC?

  imx6_pcie_grp_offset
    return imx6_pcie->controller_id == 1 ? IOMUXC_GPR16 : IOMUXC_GPR14;

  imx6_pcie_configure_type
    id = imx6_pcie->controller_id
    if (!drvdata->mode_mask[id])         # <-- looks unsafe
      id = 0;
    regmap_update_bits(drvdata->mode_off[id], ...)

(This "mode_mask[id]" looks like it will reference garbage if the DT
supplies "linux,pci-domain = <2>".  A bogus DT shouldn't be able to
cause a driver to misbehave like that.)

That doesn't seem related to "linux,pci-domain" at all.
