Hi Mark
Thanks for the patch. Please find my comment inline.

> Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Docs: dt: Add PCI MSI map bindings
> 
> Currently msi-parent is used by a few bindings to describe the relationship
> between a PCI root complex and a single MSI controller, but this property
> does not have a generic binding document.
> 
> Additionally, msi-parent is insufficient to describe more complex
> relationships between MSI controllers and devices under a root complex,
> where devices may be able to target multiple MSI controllers, or where MSI
> controllers use (non-probeable) sideband information to distinguish devices.
> 
> This patch adds a generic binding for mapping PCI devices to MSI controllers.
> This document covers msi-parent, and a new msi-map property (specific to
> PCI*) which may be used to map devices (identified by their Requester ID) to
> sideband data for each MSI controller that they may target.

[varun] Can you please elaborate on a use case, where this would help.
