Just to kibitz, and I don't know anything about the DT binding under
discussion here, but I would prefer if DTs and drivers did not have
the "single root port" assumption baked deeply in them.

I expect some controllers to support multiple root ports, and it would
be really nice if the DTs and drivers all had similar structures with
the single-root-port controllers just being the N=1 case.

For example, some drivers put their per-root port stuff in
*_add_pcie_port() functions, which I think is a nice way to do it
because it leaves the door open for calling *_add_pcie_port() in a
loop.

Ironically, the only driver I see that looks like it currently
supports multiple root ports is pci-mvebu.c, and it doesn't have an
_add_pcie_port() function.

Having this sort of consistent structure and naming across drivers is
a huge help for ongoing maintenance.
