Thanks, I've tested this successfully with the Marvell PCIe driver. I'm
about to send a new version of the Marvell PCIe patch set that includes
this RFC proposal.
I only made two small changes compared to your version, detailed below.

In the initial part of the loop, I added a memset() to initialize to
zero the "iter" structure. Otherwise, if you forget to do it before
calling of_pci_process_ranges(), it may crash (depending on the random
values present in the uninitialized structure).

And here, I enclosed all the usage of the macro parameters in
parenthesis. Like (res)->flags instead of res->flags. If you don't do
that, then passing &foobar as the 'res' parameter causes some
compilation failure because &foobar->res is not valid, while
(&foobar)->res is.
Best regards,
Thomas
