The internal reg address space starts at 0x51000000. By Using this <0
0x20000000 0x10000000>; as ranges, we are not able to get the memory resource
properly. Can we use multiple ranges? how do we specify which ranges the *reg*
property to use?

Btw I was using *simple-bus* as compatible to *axi*. Or should I create a new
*axi* driver to create the pcie memory resources myself?

Thanks
Kishon
