Hi,
When ranges property is being parsed using of_pci_get_host_bridge_resources,
the pci address is being used for
calculating the offset for pci_add_resource_offset.
What is this offset for ?
So the cpu address is being used for programming memory base and limit
registers ?
Linux IORESOURCE_MEM resources are defined in terms of CPU addresses,
while PCI config space BAR registers are programmed with bus addresses.
These are often the same, but on some machines they are not, which results
in an offset that has to be used when accessing the BARs.
Thanks Arnd. So mem base and limit registers of RP are programmed with
CPU addresses,
and EP BARs are programmed with PCI bus addresses ?
So when will this offset be used, only when RP assigns BAR's to RP ?
