The PAXB IP performs address translation(PCI<->AXI address) for both inbound and
outbound addresses (amongst other things) based on version of IP being used.
It does so using the IMAP/IARR/OMAP/OARR registers.
These registers get programmed as per mappings specified in device tree during
PCI driver probe for each RC and do not get reset when kexec/kdump kernel boots.
This results in driver assuming valid mappings in place for some mapping windows
during kexec/kdump kernel boot, consequently it skips those windows and
we run out of available mapping windows, leading to mapping failure.
Normally, we take care of resetting PAXB block in firmware, but in
primary kernel
to kexec/kdump kernel handover, no firmware is executed in between.
So, we just, by default, invalidate the mapping registers each time before
programming them to solve the issue described above..
We do not need full reset for handling this.

Ok, will remove.

For this category of IP(PAXC), no mappings need to be programmed in
the first place.

It would work for kexec kernel, but not for kdump kernel as only for
kexec'ed kernel,
"device_shutdown" callback is present. We are here taking care of both the cases
with this patch.
