[PATCH 0/2] PCI endpoint BAR hardware description cleanup

The series is based on top of:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pci/pci.git/log/?h=endpoint


Hello all,

This series cleans up the hardware description for PCI endpoint BARs.

The problems with the existing hardware description:
-The documentation is lackluster.
-Some of the names are confusingly similar, e.g. fixed_64bit and
 fixed_size, even though these are for completely unrelated things.
-The way that the BARs are defined in the endpoint controller drivers
 is messy, because the left hand side is not a BAR, so you can mark a
 BAR as e.g. both fixed size and reserved.

This series tries to address all the problems above.

Personally, I think that the code is more readable, both the endpoint
controller drivers, but also pci-epc-core.c.

(Oh, and as you can probably guess, I will be sending out a patch series
that adds BAR_RESIZABLE to enum pci_epc_bar_type in the coming week(s).)


Kind regards,
Niklas
