Hmm, that's what I thought in my initial review, but you convinced me
that it's actually correct later on, and I still believe it is. Maybe
now you got confused by your own code?

Please have another look, I think your code in pci_host_bridge_of_get_ranges
sufficiently handles the registration to the PCI code with the correct
io_offset. The only thing that we might want to add is to record the
PCI address along with the bridge->io_base: For the host driver to
set up the mapping window correctly, you either need both of them, or
you assume they are already set up.
