I mean drop the "clock-names" property.

Are you sure the memory is non-prefetchable then? I would have expected
0x42000000 rather than 0x02000000, but I could be misremembering it.

I don't remember what led to that, it still seems wrong and I can't find anything
in the PCI binding for host bridges telling their config space this way.

Any PCI device can normally have four interrupts (IntA through IntD), which are
traditionally separate pins on a PCI bus, but get emulated on PCIe. While it's
not common for any normal device to use more than one IRQ, a bridge device
will swizzle these (virtual) IRQ lines, so a device behind the bridge actually
gets a different host IRQ.
