In commit 6df6ba974a55 ("PCI: aardvark: Remove PCIe outbound window
configuration") was removed aardvark PCIe outbound window configuration and
commit description said that was recommended solution by HW designers.
But that commit completely removed support for configuring PCIe IO
resources without removing PCIe IO 'ranges' from DTS files. After that
commit PCIe IO space started to be treated as PCIe MEM space and accessing
it just caused kernel crash.
Moreover implementation of PCIe outbound windows prior that commit was
incorrect. It completely ignored offset between CPU address and PCIe bus
address and expected that in DTS is CPU address always same as PCIe bus
address without doing any checks. Also it completely ignored size of every
PCIe resource specified in 'ranges' DTS property and expected that every
PCIe resource has size 128 MB (also for PCIe IO range). Again without any
check. Apparently none of PCIe resource has in DTS specified size of 128
MB. So it was completely broken and thanks to how aardvark mask works,
configuration was completely ignored.
This patch reverts back support for PCIe outbound window configuration but
implementation is a new without issues mentioned above. PCIe outbound
window is required when DTS specify in 'ranges' property non-zero offset
between CPU and PCIe address space. To address recommendation by HW
designers as specified in commit description of 6df6ba974a55, set default
outbound parameters as PCIe MEM access without translation and therefore
for this PCIe 'ranges' it is not needed to configure PCIe outbound window.
For PCIe IO space is needed to configure aardvark PCIe outbound window.
This patch fixes kernel crash when trying to access PCIe IO space.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
