Now that I think about it, there were a few more changes needed.
For one, the reg property of the root port nodes need to be in the
format specified by the PCI DT binding. That is, 3 cells for the
address and 2 cells for the size.

So I end up with something like this:

	pcie-controller {
		...

		ranges = <0x00000800 0 0x80000000 0x80000000 0 0x00001000 /* port 0 registers */
			  0x00001000 0 0x80001000 0x80001000 0 0x00001000 /* port 1 registers */
			  ...>;

		pci at 1,0 {
			reg = <0x000800 0 0x80000000 0 0x1000>;
			...
		};

		pci at 2,0 {
			reg = <0x001000 0 0x80001000 0 0x1000>;
			...
		};
	};

So what happens here is that for each root port (pci at 1,0 and pci at 2,0),
the reg property is translated into the parent address space via the
pcie-controller's ranges property. pci at 1,0 gets the memory region
0x80000000-0x80000fff and pci at 2,0 gets 0x80001000-0x80001fff. (These are
actually windows through which the configuration space of the root ports
is accessed.)

At the same time this reg property maps both devices into the PCI
address space at addresses 0:01.0 and 0:02.0 respectively.

The second change is that you can't rely on ARM's default implementation
of the bus scan operation, which calls pci_scan_root_bus(), passing in a
NULL as the struct device which acts as the bus' parent. So on Tegra I
added a custom implementation which calls pci_create_root_bus(), passing
in the struct device of the PCI host bridge, whose .of_node field will
be set to the pcie-controller node above. Incidentally this also fixed
another issue where the PCI core and ARM's pci_common_init() both
eventually end up calling pci_bus_add_devices(). I don't remember the
exact symptoms but I think this was causing resource conflicts during
the second enumeration or so.

Because a proper struct device with the correct .of_node field is passed
into pci_create_root_bus(), the generic pcibios_get_phb_of_node() will
know how to find it by looking at bus->bridge->parent->of_node. After
that the generic matching code will search the bridge (pcie-controller)
node's children and relate them to the struct pci_dev by devfn. This is
done in pci_set_of_node() defined in drivers/pci/of.c, which calls
of_pci_find_child_device() from drivers/of/of_pci.c.

This is quite convoluted, but I hope it helps.
