Jim, FYI, this relates to u-boot's pcie-brcmstb implementation.

The first comercially available board I've seen without the vl805 eeprom is the
new 8GB variant. There should be an unpopulated chip just below the audio Jack.

I strongly suggest you either use the Linux upstream device-tree or if not
possible, the latest device-tree maintained by the rpi guys. For example the
one available on their rpi-5.7.y branch.

Lots has changed since they released the original device-tree and you're likely
to run into issues like this one all over the place, if combining it with
upstream code.

FYI There is a series adding bcm7211 support on Linux:
