Nobody has paid much attention to consistency here in the past, but we
will in the future.
Maybe "PCI: endpoint: Add NTB MSI support" or similar?

The diagram is pretty but I don't quite understand what this is
telling me. I assume "PCI Func" is the "EP side"? If so, label it
appropriately.
Is "PCI Host" referring to a host CPU? I guess not, since you include
BARs in the box.
What are the arrows? I assume one is an MMIO write to a BAR, since
you mention that below.

I think "PCI RC writes to memory" and "Host writes such an address"
are referring to the same write. If so, use the same words both
times, not "PCI RC" once and "host" the other.
s/irq/IRQ/, as you did above. I don't want to have to figure out
whether "irq" is the same as "IRQ", so spell it the same way all the
time.

I guess "PCIe host" is something else that means the same as "PCI RC"
or "host" above? Use consistent terminology. This doesn't seem like
something specific to PCIe. If it's not, use "PCI" to be generic or
omit it altogether.

This loop condition is hard to read. It would be simpler as:
if (!ntb->epf_db_phy) {
for (i = 1; i < ntb->db_count; i++) {
...
}

I think inverted tests are hard to read, and setting mw_addr here
instead of at the declaration will make the cases more parallel, so
maybe omit the initialization above and do this:
if (ntb->epf_db_phy) {
mw_addr = NULL;
epf_bar->phys_addr = ntb->epf_db_phy;
...
} else {
mw_addr = pci_epf_alloc_space(ntb->epf, size, barno, align, 0);
...
}

You don't return anything to indicate success or failure. Does the
caller care if this fails? A message is only for debugging; it's not
a way to tell the caller anything.

I don't understand what you're doing here, but it looks weird to set
ntb->msi_virqbase even if devm_request_irq() fails.
