This is your 

        02:00.0 PCI bridge: Avionic Design GmbH FPGA PCIe PCI-to-PCI (P2P) Bridge

Device, right?

Just looking at the driver a bit, and your results, it looks to me
like the config space for the internal devices is seperate from the
register to send config packets to the bus(es).

So, it looks like what I suggested earlier is the trouble, you are
missing the host bridge configuration

If you change tegra_pcie_read/write_conf to be more like:

static int tegra_pcie_read_conf(struct pci_bus *bus, unsigned int devfn,
                                int where, int size, u32 *val)
{
	/* Check the host bridge bus, all the pci-pci bridge ports
	   live here */
	if (bus->number == 0) {
           if (PCI_SLOT(devfn) >= 0x10 &&
	       PCI_SLOT(devfn) < 0x10 + tegra_pcie.num_ports &&
	       PCI_FUNC(devfn) == 0) {
               addr = tegra_pcie.port[PCI_SLOT(devfn) - 0x10].base + (where & ~0x3);
           } else {
	       *val = 0xffffffff;
               return PCIBIOS_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND;
           }
       }
}

Ie route access for 00:1N.0 to the configuration space on bridge port N

Also, you need to change the PCI core binding to report as only one
controller, and probably some other minor fixups related to that.

Then you are a bit closer. You should see both root port bridges
appear in your lspci.. IIRC the host bridge device is not essential to
discovery working on Linux.

        00:00.0 PCI bridge: NVIDIA Corporation Device 0bf0 (rev a0) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode])
                Capabilities: [60] HyperTransport: MSI Mapping Enable- Fixed-

Heh, I wonder WTF that does on a ARM system! On a HT system that takes
care of mapping PCIe format MSI to HT format MSI..
