The PCI endpoint device such as Xilinx Alveo PCI card maps the register
spaces from multiple hardware peripherals to its PCI BAR. Normally,
the PCI core discovers devices and BARs using the PCI enumeration process.
There is no infrastructure to discover the hardware peripherals that are
present in a PCI device, and which can be accessed through the PCI BARs.
Apparently, the device tree framework requires a device tree node for the
PCI device. Thus, it can generate the device tree nodes for hardware
peripherals underneath. Because PCI is self discoverable bus, there might
not be a device tree node created for PCI devices. Furthermore, if the PCI
device is hot pluggable, when it is plugged in, the device tree nodes for
its parent bridges are required. Add support to generate device tree node
for PCI bridges.
Add an of_pci_make_dev_node() interface that can be used to create device
tree node for PCI devices.
Add a PCI_DYNAMIC_OF_NODES config option. When the option is turned on,
the kernel will generate device tree nodes for PCI bridges unconditionally.
Initially, add the basic properties for the dynamically generated device
tree nodes which include #address-cells, #size-cells, device_type,
compatible, ranges, reg.
