[Suravee] Liviu and I had a talk during Linaro Connect, and we came up
with a new binding for the pcie controller called "msi-parent" which is
supposed to contain phandle to the corresponded msi-controller.

[Suravee] I just sent out an RFC which implements the described binding 
here.

Any feedback/comments are welcome :)
