Okay, let me check my understanding of the format.

The openfirmware path in pci case looks like
/pci@<ioport>/<device name>@<slot>,<func>/.../<device name>@<slot>,<func>

"pci@<ioport>" corresponds to pci domain. So <mmio address> should be
also supported in addition to <ioport>.

Maybe we'd like "<device name>@" to be optional.
So the parser would accept something like
/{<ioport>, <mmio addr>}/<slot>,<func>/.../<slot>,<func>
