I liked it too, however both variants

if (size > 0x100000000ULL) {

if (size > SZ_4G) {

result in:

drivers/pci/dwc/pcie-designware-ep.c:131:11: warning:
  comparison is always false due to limited range of data type [-Wtype-limits]

when compiling with W=1 on a platform with 32-bit size_t.


The annoying thing here is that a BAR can be 64-bit,
yet the parameter size is defined as a size_t,
so the error will only show on 32-bit and not on 64-bit.

What do you think about:

if (upper_32_bits(size)) {
	dev_err(pci->dev, "can't handle BAR larger than 4GB\n");
	return -EINVAL;
}

That should compile without warnings for both
32-bit size_t and 64-bit size_t.
