I applied the first to arm/next, but not the other.  I think
returning ~0 makes more sense here, and that callers (even
callers that are part of the API) should consider asserting
on receiving it.

As we discussed, low-level API should return whatever it
finds/doesn't find (no asserts). Higher-level API can assert
on invalid inputs and unexpected results from the low-level
API.

Additionally, this series doesn't solve the problem I reported,
which is, if you do

 pci_bar_get_addr(any_device, invalid_bar_num)

you get back the base address of the PIO region. That happens
because pci_bar_get(any_device, invalid_bar_num) returns zero
and then that zero gets translated correctly by pci_translate_addr
to the PIO region's physical base address.

I think we should look into adding asserts to pci_bar_get/set_addr
and the other higher-level API calls instead. We should add

 assert(pci_bar_is_valid(bar_num))

many places, and pci_bar_get_addr should have


 phys_addr = pci_translate_addr(dev, pci_addr)
 assert(phys_addr != ~0)
 
Thanks,
