Yes, you're right, but the current U-Boot's DM framework doesn't
model the root complex. Instead, calling pci_get_controller() would
be enough. (Need confirm this.)

Yeah, the current VenHW(e61d73b9-a384-4acc-aeab-82e828f3628b) represents
"efi_root" in our UEFI implementation and it is another incompatibility
with other UEFI firmware.
After all, we might want to insert a dummy PciRoot(0) (as EDK2 does?).

Indeed.
