Bit of a nit, but I find "root-complex" to not be so onerous as to shorten it to "rc".
Is there a need to be so economical? Contracting it makes it harder to read.
While we're here we might also expand "dev" to "device".

Thoughts?

Also you're missing the closing quote on "dev".

Might have been worth dropping the tags for this patch given the changes. I
feel Rob will welcome the switch to describing the memory with a phandle
to a reserved region, but removing his tag makes it easier for him to protest :)
