I have looked into this and in our case we cannot use the
standard MCFG object to pass the RC config space addresses.

The reason is that in our HW we have the config base addresses of the 
root complex ports that are less than 0x100000 byte distant one from
the other as we only map the first 0x10000 bytes.

Now the MCFG acpi framework always fix the MCFG resource size to 0x100000
for each bus; therefore if we pass our RC addresses through MCFG we end
up with a resource conflict.

To give you a practical example we are in a situation where we have:

port0: [0x00000000b0080000 - 0x00000000b0080000 + 0x10000]
port1: [0x00000000b0090000 - 0x00000000b0090000 + 0x10000]
port2: [0x00000000b00A0000 - 0x00000000b00A0000 + 0x10000]
port3: [0x00000000b00B0000 - 0x00000000b00B0000 + 0x10000]
  
So if we pass the base addresses through MCFG the resources
will overlap as MCFG will consider 0x100000 size for each base
address of the root complex (only the RC bus uses that address)

So far I do not see many option other than using _DSD to pass
these RC config base addresses.

Thanks and Regards
