The definition of ECAM is a 256M linear region with each 4k being a different bus/dev/func.
So the ranges would look something like:
ranges = <0x00000000 0 0x00000000 0x0ff00000 0 0x10000000> /* configuration space */
The reason I think allow an ECAM makes sense in ranges is because it allows for a direct IO read/write to CFG space (w/o any mapping) similar to what one would do for MEM space or IO.

I just meant, should we ‘break’ their DTs and move them from using ranges to reg?
