Which value should be 0? I did not catch it here.

0xf0000000 is just start offset for the child address range. I chose it
"randomly" to not conflict with 0x40000 offset for child address range
which describe internal PCIe controller registers.

You have not looked how it works. mvebu is 32-bit CPU and this describe
whole address range which could possibly used for IO or MEM for any
(unspecified) PCIe controller.

Every PCIe controller has its own PCIe MEM and PCIe IO address range
which are not shared with other PCIe controllers. (non-mvebu platforms
use for this different PCI domains; mvebu not)

These "shared" ranges are then dynamically split into PCIe controllers
like their drivers ask. So at the end all 10 PCIe controllers which are
on AXP ask for maximum (64 kB) of PCIe IO and allocator then choose 10
64kB non-interleaving ranges from this "big" master range. Same for PCIe
MEM.

So basically those two lines (one for MEM and one for IO) just says that
"unspecified" amount of PCIe MEM is mapped to MBUS_ID(0x04, 0x59) and
another "unspecified" amount of PCIe IO is mapped to MBUS_ID(0x04, 0x51)
mbus and pci-mvebu.c drivers than takes care for proper allocation of
required memory from dynamic pool defined in pcie-mem-aperture and
pcie-io-aperture properties.

Note that this is not something which I invented, this is used for a
long time by mvebu drivers and device tree files.

"config space" for Orion (in from driver point of view) is just ordinary
"memory space".

"memory space" is accessed by load/store instructions. I/O space is
accessed by inb/outb (IO instructions or what architecture has) and
"config space" is accessed by kernel drivers by its own drivers.

So I think it is correct to declare this range of address space as
"memory".

Exactly. And this is because it does not make sense to assign "config
space" into "assigned-addresses" as described in:
https://www.devicetree.org/open-firmware/bindings/pci/pci2_1.pdf

My understanding of above document is that "reg" property in following
code describes "config space".

  pcie@1,0 {
    reg = <0x0800 0 0 0 0>; /* BDF 0:1.0 */
  }

And reason is that because above document use "config space" terminology
for describing specific PCI device on the bus.

Address part after the at-char (@1,0) in device tree should match "reg"
property and by all above definitions from pci2_1.pdf this pass because:

1) that document describes @1,0 format that is "config space" for PCI
   device with BDF X:1.0 where X is the parent bus

2) 0x0800 is really describes BDF X:1.0

And then the "config space is not allowed in assigned-addresses" makes
sense as there is absolutely no need to put "pointer" to PCI device
(with BDF address) into "assigned-addresses" property. In this property
should be some memory range and not reference to some PCI device.

The reason is that in mvebu there are X independent single-root-port
PCIe controllers (PCIe host bridges; PCI domains; ...) and device tree
binding was defined that all root ports (with their host bridges) would
be put into one "virtual" DT node which would act as one PCI domain.

And this leads to the fact that all controller specific settings must be
defined in pci root ports.

And obviously every PCIe controller has its own internal registers and
its own way how to access config space (all is independent).
