Yes, but the mbus-matrix node in the example would need a ranges property
to map the addresses according to how the windows are set up.

The trick is that the root node must still be #address-cells=<1> and
refer to the CPU's translated view of the world, rather the raw
view with individul windows. When we set up the address map in
Linux, we would initially read the windows from the ranges property,
but if we make changes to the windows, that property has to be
adapted on the fly. of_translate_address will then for any
device go through the intermediate 64 bit address but end up with
the correct physical address at the root node.

Yes, it is orthogonal, you are right, but I think it would make it
easier to understand what we are trying to do here with the PCI
node.
I'm not sure why you say "the goal is to have only one pci_sys_data",
as far as I'm concerned, the goal is to have a working system that
is both as sensible and as simple as possible. When in hardware
you have a bunch of independent PCIe host bridges, each with their
own address translation, that means to me that (if possible) we
should in the device tree show multiple independent PCIe host bridges
and how they are set up with address translation, and Linux should
see multiple independent host bridges as well.
Having a single pci_sys_data is a hack to defeat some of the problems
associated with getting bus probing to work in practice, but it's
not necessarily the best solution.

Ok, I thought it was an identity mapping here.

Well, that assumes that a bridge is addressed using configuration space,
which IIRC is normally the case but not here.

I never really understood the 'assigned-addresses' property, but it looks
sensible.

Yes, I like that. If we follow the address translation method I suggested,
this would be a 64-bit address of course, but still easier to understand
than what we have now.

nice.

I don't think I understand this part. Why can't you put this into
ranges as before?
- 0x81000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x0 0xa0000
+ 0x81000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0xc0000000 0x0 0xa0000

Ok.
