The purpose is ultimately to obtain the MMCONFIG/ECAM resources assigned
to a PCI host controller. I've used this in the of_pci_parse_ranges()
and in the static board setup code to mark ranges as such. Perhaps
IORESOURCE_ECAM or IORESOURCE_MMCONFIG might have been better names. I
also just noticed that I'm not using this anywhere, but the plan was to
eventually use it with platform_get_resource(). However that doesn't
seem to work either because the lower bits of the flags aren't use for
comparison in that function.

Any other ideas how that could be handled? Basically what I need is a
way to mark a resource as an MMCONFIG/ECAM range so that it can be used
to program the PCI host controller accordingly. I don't know how these
are assigned on x86. I was under the impression that the MMCONFIG/ECAM
space was accessed through a single single address/data register pair.

On Tegra 20 this region can be anywhere in the upper 1 GiB of the 4 GiB
address space, while on Tegra 30 it can be anywhere in the lower 1 GiB,
so they can be freely assigned.
