I realized that I missed one case in v7.

I think dw_pcie_ep_clear_ib_maps() should also be called from
dw_pcie_ep_ib_atu_bar() to tear down any existing inbound mappings for the
same BAR before re-programming it in BAR Match Mode.

This matters when updating inbound mappings for a BAR without resetting the
BAR in between. There are four possible transition patterns, and pattern #4
below was overlooked:

  1. BAR Match Mode -> BAR Match Mode
     As the current implementation does, the mapping is simply updated
     (with the same atu index)

  2. BAR Match Mode -> Address Match Mode
     This patch series already ensures the old BAR Match mapping is
     torn down before reprogramming.

  3. Address Match Mode -> Address Match Mode
     Likewise, existing Address Match mappings are cleared first.

  4. Address Match Mode  -> BAR Match Mode
     This case was not handled. The change below adds the missing
     teardown so that stale Address Match mappings do not remain active.

If one of the branches has braces, both branches should have braces:

Unless there are objections, I'll include this fix in v8.
Isn't it easier/cleaner if we call dw_pcie_ep_clear_ib_maps() in
dw_pcie_ep_set_bar(), rather than calling it in both dw_pcie_ep_ib_atu_addr()
and dw_pcie_ep_ib_atu_bar() ?

dw_pcie_ep_set_bar() knows the condition if we are dynamically reprogramming
a BAR or not, and all the four cases are when dynamically reprogramming a BAR.

I.e. instead of adding additional code to dw_pcie_ep_ib_atu_bar(), we do
something like:
diff --git a/drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pcie-designware-ep.c b/drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pcie-designware-ep.c

For pattern #2 and #3 (ie. either mode -> Address Match Mode), the v7 code
withholds the dw_pcie_ep_clear_ib_maps() call unless the submap validation
passes. The above patch differs slightly in that sense, but I agree it
looks much simpler. I don't think the difference matters much, since
pci_epc_set_bar() with an invalid submap should already indicate that
something has gone wrong (most likely a bug in the API call site). So I
think I'll go with your suggestion.

Thanks!
Koichiro
