fix in v4, thx

we don't atm. We're relying on the default configuration.


we don't have any APIs for AC configuration so I left the

cell number to 0 thinking that the cell number might depend

on the API.


if need be, I can set it to the value I was initially thinking of in v4.

I guess this would mean switching from global addresses (current way) to

bus-relative addresses for the child devices. This wasn't my intent.


I wonder if we could just switch to V2 in which we just use the bridge's AC

configuration space and an empty 'ranges':


aips5: bus@30df0000 {

    compatible = "fsl,imx8mp-aipstz";

    reg = <0x30df0000 0x10000>;

    /* some more properties here */

    ranges;

};


or as Marco just suggested use


ranges = <0x30c00000 0x30c00000 0x400000>;


instead of an empty 'ranges' to restrict the bus size.


Personally, I'm fine with both approaches but what's your opinion on this?

no need for that unless the child wants to request a specific AC

configuration for itself.
