The current "simple" address translation simple_bus_translate() is not
working on some platforms (e.g. MVEBU). As here more complex "ranges"
properties are used in many nodes (multiple tuples etc). This patch
enables the optional use of the common fdt_translate_address() function
which handles this translation correctly.

v3:
- Rebased on current U-Boot version

v2:
- Rework code a bit as suggested by Simon. Also added some comments
  to make the use of the code paths more clear.

This change makes sense to me, but one comment:

So this is on by default, which I think is correct since applying this 
technique is required to parse DT correctly. However, ...

fdt_translate_address() is a simple wrapper around 
__of_translate_address(), and that function calls fdt_parent_offset() 
which is "slow" per Simon. Surely this patch will receive the same 
objection as when I added a (single) call to fdt_parent_offset() into 
the DT address parsing routine (and this patch is worse, since it adds a 
call to fdt_parent_offset() for each level of DT sub-nodes).

Yes, Simon already mentioned his speed related concerns. But I think
I convinced him that calling this function once for each driver probe
can't be that bad this in the v2 thread:

Simon, is this okay? Will you pull this patch after the v2015.10
release?

Thanks,
Stefan

It's not great but it is enabled by an option so I think it is OK for
now. We talked about the alternatives and they were not too great
either. Things like this suggest that we might move to an unflattened
device tree post-relocation one day.

When testing Simon's patch [1], I found PCI UART on Intel Crown Bay no
longer works. git bisect leads to this commit. Somehow I missed this
patch before although I see the commit message get me cc'ed but the
email did not bring to my attention.

I see this patch introduced OF_TRANSLATE and by default set it to y.
This makes the code logic in dev_get_addr() go through
fdt_translate_address(), which breaks the things. Should we set
OF_TRANSLATE to n by default? If set to y, this requires dts to have
complete ranges property everywhere.

I'm a bit surprised that using the common fdt_translate_address()
function instead of the DM internal simple_bus_translate() causes
problems on your platform. Are you sure that the ranges are
described correctly in your dts? Is the dts a copy from the Linux
original one? Ah, probably not, since we're talking about x86
which has no DT support in Linux, right?

My understanding here is that x86 is a special case. As it doesn't
use the full-blown dts sources from Linux. But most likely some
"simple" ones, written exactly for U-Boot / DM.

I would still prefer to have this OF_TRANSLATE set to y as default.
As its needed for at least some platforms. But if we decide to
set it to n, I can live with it as well.

Thanks,
Stefan

Is this the driver that uses U-Boot functions that were intended to 
parse a standard "reg" property to parse some property other than reg, 
with different semantics? Actually, I think I'm remembering an issue 
with SPI on some x86 device, but perhaps the problem here is something 
similar.

Is fdt_translate_address() able to handle PCI bus ranges property? PCI
has special ranges.

The arch/x86/dts/crownbay.dts has something like below:

 90         pci {
 91                 #address-cells = <3>;
 92                 #size-cells = <2>;
 93                 compatible = "pci-x86";
 94                 u-boot,dm-pre-reloc;
 95                 ranges = <0x02000000 0x0 0x40000000 0x40000000 0 0x80000000
 96                           0x42000000 0x0 0xc0000000 0xc0000000 0 0x20000000
 97                           0x01000000 0x0 0x2000 0x2000 0 0xe000>;
 98
 99                 pcie@17,0 {
100                         #address-cells = <3>;
101                         #size-cells = <2>;
102                         compatible = "pci-bridge";
