Yes, I refer to them regularly.

They are useful to every PCI binding. That doesn't mean we should link
to them in for every single PCI host binding doc. They belong in a DT
howto or something if not there already.

No, v4.12.

We generally don't use them here (i.e. for reg). The main use is for
things also used by drivers like GPIO flags or IDs such as clock IDs.
So please drop these.
