I think pci_space should be removed and the users should test
"range.flags & IORESOURCE_PREFETCH" instead.  That's already set by
of_bus_pci_get_flags().  This is separate from your current patch, of
course.

29b635c00f3e ("of/pci: Provide support for parsing PCI DT ranges
property") added struct of_pci_range, and even at the time,
of_bus_pci_get_flags() set IORESOURCE_PREFETCH in of_pci_range.flags.

654837e8fe8d ("powerpc/pci: Use of_pci_range_parser helper in
pci_process_bridge_OF_ranges") converted powerpc to use
of_pci_range_parser() instead of parsing manually.  It converted other
references to look at struct of_pci_range.flags; I'm not sure why it
didn't do that for the prefetch bit.

I copied Andrew in case there's some subtlety here.

I can't quite parse this, but I do understand how a host bridge can
translate CPU physical addresses to a different range of PCI bus
addresses.  What I don't understand is the difference between "pci_addr"
and the "bus_addr" you're adding.
