Can you check whether you have DT node links in sysfs for the PCI
devices? If you don't, then something is wrong still in the topology
or the PCI core is failing to set the DT node pointer in struct
device. Though you don't rely on that currently, we want the topology
to match. It's possible this never worked on arm/arm64 as mainly
powerpc relied on this.

I'd like some way to validate the DT matches the PCI topology. We
could have a tool that generates the DT structure based on the PCI
topology.

Yes, agreed.
