I think you are correct that this change by itself is will break existing
drivers that rely on the current behavior of of_pci_range_to_resource,
but there is also something wrong with the existing implementation:

of_pci_range_to_resource() at the moment returns a the address in
cpu address space (i.e. IORESOURCE_MEM) but sets the res->flags
value to IORESOURCE_IO, which means it doesn't fit into the resource
tree. Liviu's version gets that part right, and it would be nice
to fix that eventually, however we do it here.
