I'm also using rev. 1.2 board and it has the flash chip mounted and doesn't
need the VL805 firmware loading patch series.

I'm glad you figured it out. Sorry, I just read your e-mails now, 
after 4 days holiday. 

In my patch set I used compatible as in mainline Linux kernel
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/pci/controller/pcie-brcmstb.c#n1025

AFAICS there exist BCM7211 and BCM2711 SoCs and instead of modifying 
devicetree we could also add another compatible string in the driver, 
as shown  below.
 
There will likely be follow up patches adding proper support for other
Broadcom STB SoCs to the pcie_brcmstb driver, taking care of any possible
differences in the PCIe controller.
