This and the previous patch for the bus should be combined and please
convert to a schema.

Other than the NTB case, I'd expect the parent device to be the
controller. Let's make NTB the exception...

Are these codes standard?

Powerpc has "class-code" already...

Powerpc has "subsystem-vendor-id" already...

This is going to need some sort of addressing (which implies 'reg')? If
not, I don't understand why you have 2 levels.

These have a long history in OF and should be 32-bits (yes, we've let
some cases of 16-bit creep in).

Doesn't this apply to more than NTB?

Can't you just get the length of 'mws-size'?

Need to support 64-bit sizes?
