'window.page_size' is set to what is passed as 'page_size' argument to
pci_epc_mem_init(). In this case, 'ep->page_size' is passed which corresponds to
size of pages that can be allocated within the memory window.
Default value of 'ep->page_size' is PAGE_SIZE which is most likely 4K. So if
your hardware cannot allocate 4K pages within the memory window, then it
doesn't support splitting this OB region into 4K pages.
But this has nothing to do with alignment AFAIU since epc_features::align is
used for IB memory. This 'page_size' argument was introduced for some TI SoC
that doesn't handle PAGE_SIZE splitting of OB memory window. Reference:
52c9285d4745 ("PCI: endpoint: Add support for configurable page size")
Can you check if your SoC also suffers from the same limitation? If so, then you
should modify the commit message to make it clear.
