PCI device bindings - Help needed

Grant,

I am developing a PCI Host driver for Keystone devices. I am trying to 
understand how the device bindings work for PCI Root Complex (RC) Host 
controller and corresponding  devices on the bus. There are no DT based 
implementation I can find for the ARM architecture. I have seen some 
patches posted by Nvidia for Tegra processors. Trying to understand how 
I write bindings for the host controller,  the interrupt mappings and 
the driver to parse these bindings.

Address start /Size information from the device spec is given below.

                        0x21800000 0x8000            /* pcie-regs */
                        0x50000000 0x10000000   /* pcie-nonprefetch 
memory */
                        0x70000000 0x4000            /* pcie-io */
                        0x80000000 0x20000000>; /* pcie-inbound0 */

Need 1:1 mapping between the Root complex address space and the PCI 
memory address space. In the above it is starting at address 0x50000000 
and size 0x10000000. I see following bindings from a power PC dts file 
(powerpc/boot/dts/mpc8541cds.dts)

         pci1: pci at e0009000 {
                 interrupt-map-mask = <0xf800 0x0 0x0 0x7>;
                 interrupt-map = <

                         /* IDSEL 0x15 */
                         0xa800 0x0 0x0 0x1 &mpic 0xb 0x1
                         0xa800 0x0 0x0 0x2 &mpic 0xb 0x1
                         0xa800 0x0 0x0 0x3 &mpic 0xb 0x1
                         0xa800 0x0 0x0 0x4 &mpic 0xb 0x1>;
                 interrupt-parent = <&mpic>;
                 interrupts = <25 2>;
                 bus-range = <0 0>;
                 ranges = <0x2000000 0x0 0xa0000000 0xa0000000 0x0 
0x20000000
                           0x1000000 0x0 0x0 0xe3000000 0x0 0x100000>;
                 clock-frequency = <66666666>;
                 #interrupt-cells = <1>;
                 #size-cells = <2>;
                 #address-cells = <3>;
                 reg = <0xe0009000 0x1000>;
                 compatible = "fsl,mpc8540-pci";
                 device_type = "pci";
         };

How do I interpret the ranges in the above bindings? I need to implement 
only Root complex functionality.Last two cell seem to represent size in 
64 bit format (2 cells). But what does the first 4 cells represent?

I also need to support Legacy and MSI IRQs. There are 4 legacy IRQs 
going to GIC. There are 8 MSI IRQs. How does the interrupt map work?

If you could point me to any documentation that explain these, it will 
be really helpful. Do you think the above bindings  represent a Root 
Complex Host controllerthat I can re-use for my work?Based on my 
research so far, it appears that DT based driver configurationon an ARM 
architecture would involve development ofOF helper functions (currently 
implemented at different arch level) as well to support the driver. I 
believe Nvdia and Marvell are currently doing this for ARM and I may be 
able to re-use their work.

Thanks
