Thanks Robin; for your reply and attention:

agree with you, at present it would not matter,
but it does not mean that we do not scope it to make it matter in future.

now where it could matter:
there is Relaxed Ordering for inbound memory for PCI.
According to standard, Relaxed Ordering (RO) bit can be set only for
Memory requests and completions (if present in the original request).
Also, according to transaction ordering rules, I/O and configuration
requests can still be re-ordered ahead of each other.
and we would like to make use of it.
for e.g. lets say we mark memory as Relaxed Ordered with flag.
the special about this memory is incoming PCI transactions can be
reordered and rest memory has to be strongly ordered.

how it our SOC would make use of this is out of scope for the
discussion at this point of time, but I am just bringing in the
idea/point how flags could be useful
for inbound memory, since we would not like throw-away flags completely.

No it does not, this patch is thoroughly tested on our SOC and it works.
of_pci_range_parser_one does not translate upwards through parent. it
just sticks to given PCI parser.

I am posting v2, please have a look at it, it is very much improved
design, which address Rob's comments.
