In preparation for adding more host bridge sysfs attributes, document the
existing naming format and 'firmware_node' attribute.

+Description:
+ A PCI host bridge device parents a PCI bus device topology. PCI
+ controllers may also parent host bridges. The DDDD:BB format
+ conveys the PCI domain (ACPI segment) number and root bus number
+ (in hexadecimal) of the host bridge. Note that the domain number
+ may be larger than the 16-bits that the "DDDD" format implies
+ for emulated host-bridges.

+What: pciDDDD:BB/firmware_node
+Contact: linux-pci@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+Description:
+ (RO) Symlink to the platform firmware device object "companion"
+ of the host bridge. For example, an ACPI device with an _HID of
+ PNP0A08 (/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A08:00). See
+ /sys/devices/pciDDDD:BB entry for details about the DDDD:BB
+ format.
