I think I was looking at this backwards.  I assumed we were *parsing"
a "ranges" property, but I think in fact we're *building* a "ranges"
property to describe an existing PCI device (either a PCI-to-PCI
bridge or an endpoint).  For such devices there is no address
translation.

Any address translation would only occur at a PCI host bridge that has
CPU address space on the upstream side and PCI address space on the
downstream side.

Since (IIUC), we're building "ranges" for a device in the interior of
a PCI hierarchy where address translation doesn't happen, I think both
the parent and child addresses in "ranges" should be in the PCI
address space.

But right now, I think they're both in the CPU address space, and we
basically do this:

  of_pci_prop_ranges(struct pci_dev *pdev, ...)
    res = &pdev->resource[...];
    for (j = 0; j < num; j++) {   # iterate through BARs or windows
      val64 = res[j].start;       # CPU physical address
      # <convert to PCI address space>
      of_pci_set_address(..., rp[i].parent_addr, val64, ...)
        rp[i].parent_addr = val64
      if (pci_is_bridge(pdev))
        memcpy(rp[i].child_addr, rp[i].parent_addr)
      else
        rp[i].child_addr[0] = j   # child addr unset/unused

Here "res" is a PCI BAR or bridge window, and it contains CPU physical
addresses, so "val64" is a CPU physical address.  It looks to me like
we should convert to a PCI bus address at the point noted above, based
on any translation described by the PCI host bridge.  That *should*
naturally result in a 32-bit value if OF_PCI_ADDR_SPACE_MEM64 is not
set.

Right, for my own future reference since I couldn't find a generic
description of "ranges" in Documentation/devicetree/:
