Fixed, thanks!

Sorry for the confusion, this means "address specifier (with valid flags) fed
to the translating functions and for which we are looking for a translation".
While this address has some valid flags set, it will fail the translation step
since the ranges it is matched against have flags zeroed out by the 1:1 mapping
condition.

The following is a simplified and lightly edited) version of the resulting DT
from RPi5:

 pci@0,0 {
	#address-cells = <0x03>;
	#size-cells = <0x02>;
	......
	device_type = "pci";
	compatible = "pci14e4,2712\0pciclass,060400\0pciclass,0604";
	ranges = <0x82000000 0x00 0x00   0x82000000 0x00 0x00   0x00 0x600000>;
	reg = <0x00 0x00 0x00   0x00 0x00>;

	......

	rp1@0 {
		#address-cells = <0x02>;
		#size-cells = <0x02>;
		compatible = "simple-bus";
		ranges = <0xc0 0x40000000   0x01 0x00 0x00   0x00 0x400000>;
		dma-ranges = <0x10 0x00   0x43000000 0x10 0x00   0x10 0x00>;
		......
	};
 };

The pci@0,0 bridge node is automatically created by virtue of
CONFIG_PCI_DYNAMIC_OF_NODES, and has no dma-ranges, hence it implies 1:1 dma
mappings (flags for this mapping are set to zero).  The rp1@0 node has
dma-ranges with flags set (0x43000000). Since 0x43000000 != 0x00 any translation
will fail.
Regarding why no one has really complained about that: AFAIK this could
very well be an unusual scenario that is arising now that we have real use
case for platform devices behind a PCI endpoint and devices populated
dynamically from dtb overlay.

Many thanks,
Andrea
