Yes, very good point!

Normally any bus can have a ranges property with the aperture and
possible address translations, including /amba (compatible =
"simple-bus"). However, in these cases dt_device_get_address already
takes care of it, see xen/common/device_tree.c:dt_device_get_address.

The PCI bus is special for 2 reasons:
- the ranges property has a different format
- the bus is hot-pluggable

So I think the only one that we need to treat specially is PCI.

As far as I am aware PCI is the only bus (or maybe just the only bus
that we support?) where ranges means the aperture.
