In commit b50b2db266d8a8c303e8d88590 ("PCI: dwc: all: Modify dbi accessors to
take dbi_base as argument"), dbi accessors was modified to take dbi_base as
argument (since we wanted to write to dbics2 address space). We didn't want to
change all the drivers invoking dbi accessors to pass the dbi_base. So we added
"__" variant to take dbi_base as argument and the drivers continued to invoke
existing dbi accessors which in-turn invoked "__" version with dbi_base as
argument.
I agree there could be some cleanup since in commit
a509d7d9af5ebf86ffbefa98e49761d ("PCI: dwc: all: Modify dbi accessors to access
data of 4/2/1 bytes"), we modified __dw_pcie_readl_dbi() to
__dw_pcie_write_dbi() when it could have been directly modified to
dw_pcie_write_dbi().
Thanks
