I will revise the commit message in the next version.
Thanks for your guidance.

I will remove the aspeed,pciephy syscon reference and rework this part to use the standard phys binding properly.
Sorry for overlooking your previous feedback in v1.
Thanks again for your patience.

Agreed. I will remove it in next version.

Thanks for your question.

In the v1 discussion, another reviewer suggested that we should support a
multi-port structure for the PCIe root complex, 
where each port is represented as a child node (e.g., pcie at ...).
That's why patternProperties was added here — to explicitly allow such
subnodes and validate them properly.

Thanks,
Jacky
