Mediatek PCI device tree binding described the root port in a wrong. The IP 
actaully implements several root complex with everyone having a single root port.

We need to fix the DT in an incompatible way to describe the HW as it is. This 
also fixes a problem that no IRQ bigger then 32 could be handled.

The only public available HW that is affected by this is the BananaPi R64. I'm 
not aware that there is a big user base using the upstream kernel. In this 
boards PCI is only used for extension cards, so I don't expect any boot problems.

Got it, I'll write a full sentence description I use to do for the pull request 
emails in the tag.
