Its the correct commit.

Adding the DT node parsing code in PCI bus probe path is the right way
to go about it. You could re-use some of the helpers from dma parsing
code.

I let Arnd comment if he disagrees, otherwise I suggest to create an
RFC patch and post it on the list. We can take it from there.

That also reminded me xhci host code issue with dma-ranges since the
devices are manually created there. I will review that thread as
well after this merge window.
