In case someone is following this thread, it looks as I was actually wrong when adding the DCR bus on the secondary side of the bridge. It seems that all I had to do was to pull the bridge DCR pins out... /Mikhail
I have already posted this in a different thread, but I thought it might be
worth repeating the result. Bringing out the secondary side of the bridge
wasn't enough. In the end I had to create a custom IP, which I called
dcr_plug. It simply connects to the DCR master on one side and exposes the
same pins on the other side. This finally made the tool happy... So, now I
have the DCR bus in my top level design and I can do anything I want with
it!
