Correct.

Exactly, that example refers to the 'uncorrected' case, i.e. without the
patch applied.

Right. I think we sould split it into two issues:

[1] RP1 acknowledges a 32 bit BAR address from its config space while the
device must be accessed using a 64 bit address (that is cpu address
0x1f_00000000), which sounds strange to me but I guess that is how
the hw interconnect has been designed, so we need to cope with it.

[2] I still think that the of_pci_set_address() function should be amended
to avoid generating invalid 64 address when 32 bit flag is set.

As you noted, fixing [2] will incidentally also let [1] work: I think
we can try to solve [1] the proper way and maybe defer [2] for a separate
patch.
To solve [1] I've dropped this patch and tried to solve it from devicetree,
modifying the following mapping:

pcie@120000: <0x3000000 0x1f 0x00    0x1f 0x00                0x00 0xfffffffc>;

so we now have a 1:1 64 bit mapping from 0x1f_00000000 to 0x1f_00000000.
I thought it would result in something like this:

pcie@120000: <0x3000000 0x1f 0x00    0x1f 0x00                0x00 0xfffffffc>;
pci@0      : <0x82000000 0x1f 0x00   0x82000000 0x1f 0x00     0x00 0x600000>;
dev@0,0    : <0x01 0x00 0x00         0x82010000 0x1f 0x00     0x00 0x400000>;
rp1@0      : <0xc0 0x40000000        0x01 0x00 0x00           0x00 0x400000>;

but it fails instead (err: "can't assign; no space") in pci_assign_resource()
function trying to match the size using pci_clip_resource_to_region(). It turned
out that the clipping is done against 32 bit memory region 'pci_32_bit',and
this is failing because the original region addresses to be clipped wxxiereas 64
bit wide. The 'culprit' seems to be the function devm_of_pci_get_host_bridge_resources()
dropping IORESOURCE_MEM_64 on any memory resource, which seems to be a change
somewhat specific to a RK3399 case (see commit 3bd6b8271ee66), but I'm not sure
whether it can be considered generic.

So, I'm actually at an empasse here.

Also, while taking a look at the resulting devicetree, I'm a bit confused by the
fact that the parent address generated by of_pci_prop_ranges() for the pci@0,0
bridge seems to be taken from the parent address of the pcie@120000 node. Shouldn't
it be taken from the child address of pcie@120000, instead?

Not sure I've got this scenario straight: can you please provide the topology
and the bit setting (32/64 bit) for those ranges? Also, is this scenario coming
from a real use case or is it hypothetical?

Many thanks,
Andrea
