That is not true.  pciauto has been working P2P bridges pretty much since day one.

Usually sub-bus not working is due to type 1 configuration not supported
in pci ops, which is board-dependent code.

I took a brief look of au1x00 pci_ops and it appears it does not support type
1 configuration access.  See arch/mips/ddb5xxx/ddb5477/pci_ops.c for one
example on how type 1 configuration being supported.
