That's the right next patch in the series (on which I didn't Cc you,
apologies). If you'd like I can hint at the next patch / the device in
question (PXB) in the commit message.

I follow a very similar requirement in all my edk2 code closely -- but
in edk2 that's actually a *requirement*. :) I wasn't aware of any such
requirement in QEMU, and I thought "any function comment will be seen as
a bonus". :)
I'll rewrite the comment like this, thanks.

"Delegate formatting of non-IO, non-MMIO address of sysbus device, due
to bus not knowing."

Awesome! :) Thank you!
