You are right. If there are more than two controller. The check logic
will be extremely complex.

There are some discussin at below thread about linux,pci-domain
https://lore.kernel.org/imx/20231206165953.GA717921@bhelgaas/

Yes!

I can add safe check here.

Suppose I can use dt-bind doc to force to 0,1 and safe check here.

I added comments about
/* Using linux,pci-domain as PCI slot id */

We may add new property about controller-id, but there already have common
one "linux,pci-domain", which value in upstreamed dts exactly match our
expection, I also found other platform use it as slot id in kernel tree.

Any way, we can continue discuss the better solution here. But I hope
it was not block whole 16 patches. we can skip this one firstly.

I still have more than 10 clean up patches my local tree.
