The host bridge driver should either register the IORESOURCE_MEM resource
itself from its probe or setup function, or it should get registered behind
the covers in drivers using of_create_pci_host_bridge().

Your new pci_host_bridge_of_get_ranges already loops over all the 
resources, so it would be a good place to put that.
