+* Synopsys DesignWare PCIe root complex in ECAM shift mode
+
+In some cases, firmware may already have configured the Synopsys DesignWare
+PCIe controller in RC mode with static ATU window mappings that cover all
+config, MMIO and I/O spaces in a [mostly] ECAM compatible fashion.
+In this case, there is no need for the OS to perform any low level setup
+of clocks, PHYs or device registers, nor is there any reason for the driver
+to reconfigure ATU windows for config and/or IO space accesses at runtime.
+
+In cases where the IP was synthesized with a minimum ATU window size of
+64 KB, it cannot be supported by the generic ECAM driver, because it
+requires special config space accessors that filter accesses to device #1
+and beyond on the first bus.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: "marvell,armada8k-pcie-ecam" or
+ "socionext,synquacer-pcie-ecam" or
+ "snps,dw-pcie-ecam" (must be preceded by a more specific match)
+
+Please refer to the binding document of "pci-host-ecam-generic" in the
+file host-generic-pci.txt for a description of the remaining required
+and optional properties.
+
+Example:
+
+ pcie1: pcie@7f000000 {
+ compatible = "socionext,synquacer-pcie-ecam", "snps,dw-pcie-ecam";
+ device_type = "pci";
