This is a bit hard to read withouth more context, but:

This is an on-chip device? (19aa does not seem to be a VID I can find)

Ideally this is the on-chip PCI-PCI bridge which represents the port.

The problem I see is that your DT binding has a top level stanza per
port.

We *really* prefer to see a single stanza for all ports - but this
requires the HW to be able to fit into the Linux resource assignment
model - a single resource pool for all ports and standard PCI-PCI
bridge config access to assign the resource to a port.

If your HW can't do this (eg because the port aperture 0xe000000000 is
hard wired) then the fall back is to place every port in a distinct
domain, with a distinct DT node and have overlapping bus numbers
and fixed windows. I don't see PCI domain support in your driver..

There is some kind of an addressing problem because you've done this:

+static void xgene_pcie_fixup_bridge(struct pci_dev *dev)
+{
+	int i;
+
+	for (i = 0; i < DEVICE_COUNT_RESOURCE; i++) {
+		dev->resource[i].start = dev->resource[i].end = 0;
+		dev->resource[i].flags = 0;
+	}
+}
+DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_HEADER(XGENE_PCIE_VENDORID, XGENE_PCIE_BRIDGE_DEVICEID,
+			 xgene_pcie_fixup_bridge);

Which is usually a sign that something is wonky with how the HW is
being fit into the PCI core.

Something funky is going on here too, the 64 bit address e000000000
should be reflected in the 'memory behind bridge' above, not
truncated.

ranges = <0x02000000 0x0 0x00000000 0x90 0x00000000 0x0 0x10000000 /* mem*/
+				  0x01000000 0x0 0x80000000 0x90 0x80000000 0x0 0x00010000 /* io */
+				  0x00000000 0x0 0xd0000000 0x90 0xd0000000 0x0 0x00200000 /* cfg */
+				  0x00000000 0x0 0x79000000 0x00 0x79000000 0x0 0x00800000>; /* msi */

Ranges has a defined meaning, MSI shouldn't be in ranges, and 'cfg' is
only OK if the address encoding exactly matches the funky PCI-E extended
configuration address format. You can move these to regs or other
properties

(MSI is tricky, I'm not aware of DT binding work for MSI :()

Also, unrelated, can you please double check that your HW cannot
generate 8 and 16 bit configuration write TLPs natively? The
xgene_pcie_cfg_out8/16 hack is not desirable if it can be avoided.
