It actually depends on whether we are configuring inbound or outbound. IIUC,
what you just mentioned will be for configuring inbound translation window.

For the outbound translation window, it'll be the other way round. *base* will
be the CPU address and target will be the PCIe address.

Not like that. It's the same.
In DRA7, the cpu sees 32bit address, but the pcie controller can see only 28bit
address. So whenever the cpu issues a read/write request, the 4 most
significant bits are used by L3 to determine the target controller.
For example, the cpu reserves 0x2000_0000 - 0x2FFF_FFFF for PCIe controller but
the PCIe controller will see only (0x000_0000 - 0xFFF_FFF). So for programming
the outbound translation window the *base* should be programmed as 0x000_0000.
Whenever we try to write to say 0x2000_0000, it will be translated to whatever
we have programmed in the translation window with base as 0x000_0000.

Thanks
Kishon
