Yes, that is the current design.
(Which is an improvement to before this series was merged, where a Resizable
BAR had to be forced to 1 MB size, so EPF drivers could not configure a size
larger/different than 1 MB.)
It is possible to allow the endpoint framework to allow multiple Resizable
BAR sizes to be supported in the future.
On e.g. rk3588, the EP gets an IRQ when the host side writes the "BAR Size"
field in the "Resizable BAR Control Register".
So one can image that the drivers could call some function in the EPC
framework that allocates + copies + frees new backing memory for the BARs.
But right now, I don't have a need for such a use-case, so let's defer that
until someone actually wants/needs that, since it will undoubtedly also add
more code complexity to the EPC framework.
Kind regards,
Niklas
