1e140000.pcie is a host bridge.  It has some CPU-specific bus on the
upstream side, standard PCI (domain 0000, buses 00-ff) on the
downstream side.

00:00.0 looks like a PCIe Root Port to bus 01.  This is not a host
bridge; it's just a standard PCI-to-PCI bridge with PCI on both the
upstream and downstream sides.

00:01.0 is another Root Port to bus 02.

And 00:02.0 is a third Root Port to bus 03.

Nothing unusual here, this looks like the standard PCIe topology.

What *might* be unusual is describing the Root Ports in DT.  Since
they are standard PCI devices, they shouldn't need DT description
unless there's some unusual power/clock/reset control or something
that is not discoverable via PCI enumeration.
