Flat device tree does not allocate node for each PCI device on a bus.

The problem was induced by PCI bridge just as Haiying explained. Until
now, we do not describe PCI bridge in device tree. Only PCI host has the
"reg" property. We can not identify the PCI device on bus 0 or bus 1 by
node in device tree. The difference between device tree and OF might
introduce potential bugs for PCI bus. We should consider the difference.

I will provide it later.
