No clue about "pxb-pcie", but re: "pxb", the documentation and examples
by Marcel (see: "docs/pci_expander_bridge.txt") will certainly continue
working, with this patch place. And, that text file is authoritative for
pxb, since Marcel (et al) wrote the code directly for the purposes
described in the txt.
(But I'll let Marcel answer too! :))
