bcma_of_fill_device() is responsible for assigning the core of_node
pointer based on the core discovered. It sounds like we may have to add
an entry under the "axi" bus node for the PCIe RC, very much like these
ones already exist:

              gmac0: ethernet at 24000 {
                        reg = <0x24000 0x800>;
                };

                gmac1: ethernet at 25000 {
                        reg = <0x25000 0x800>;
                };

                gmac2: ethernet at 26000 {
                        reg = <0x26000 0x800>;
                };

                gmac3: ethernet at 27000 {
                        reg = <0x27000 0x800>;
                };

Without that, you indeed do not have a proper linkage between the BCMA
discovered device and its of_node pointer.

Can you give it a spin?
