Patches from Frank Rowand series [1] are needed to create an of_root_node if a DT was not provided by the firmware, bootloader, etc that run the kernel.

Current Lizhi's series creates nodes from the PCI host node during the PCI enumeration. It creates PCI-PCI bridge and PCI device nodes.
I use these series on an ACPI system.
I need one more missing component: the node related to the PCI host bridge This was the purpose of Clement's work. This work was not sent upstream yet and I am working on it in order to have a full tree from the of_root to the PCI device ie: of_root <-- Frank Rowand series + of_host_pci_bridge <-- Clement's work + pci_bridge <-- Current Lizhi series + pci_bridge <-- Current Lizhi series ... + pci_dev <-- Current Lizhi series
Hope that this status helped.
Regards, Hervé
