Looks mostly good to me.  I only have one comment on the device tree
binding...

Can you use something like 'fsl,primary-pci-bridge' instead?  'primary'
is a little too generic for my taste.  Also, the purpose of identifying
one of the PCI bridges as primary should be documented (This is me
pushing against encoding Linux internal implementation details into the
device tree, I suspect that 'primary' doesn't belong in the device tree
at all).
