Ok, thanks, after looking at the branch, it appears that you expect the
PCI nodes matching the probed PCI devices should be created by the PCI
subsystem itself. My previous comment saying that the node would be
created by the PCI driver itself is then wrong and I understand what
you meant.

Then, there is still a bit of magic to do to correctly fill the ranges
for translation and then the driver "simply" have to load the dtbo and
apply it with of_overlay_fdt_apply().
