The start address must be aligned to a CX_ATU_MIN_REGION_SIZE kB boundary (in address match mode); and to the Bar size boundary (in BAR match mode) so that these bits are always '0'. If the BAR is smaller than the iATU region size, then the iATU target address must align to the iATU region size; otherwise it must align to the BAR size.

Okay, now I understood the issue, thanks.
But this issue can happen for other BARs also, right. Since you encountered the
issue with DB BAR, it doesn't mean that the issue won't happen with other BARs.
So you need to have this check in place for all the used BARs.

How about,
"PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-vntb: Fix transfer failure for fixed size BARs
For the inbound MEM/IO TLPs, iATU on the endpoint expects the target address to
be aligned to the size of the BAR. For configurable BARs, there is no issue
because both host and endpoint will know the exact size of the BAR region. But
for fixed size BARs available in some controllers, if the BAR size advertised by
the endpoint is not same as of the actual BAR size used in the controller, then
the MEM/IO TLPs generated by the host will not be translated properly by the
endpoint iATU.
So if the fixed size BARs are available in endpoint controllers, always use the
actual BAR size."
Also, add the Fixes tag and CC stable list since this is a bug.
