I didn't dig into the other vendors' quirk mechanism but I will 
quickly explain what we (would like to) do in HiSilicon Hip05/Hip06
SoCs.

>From our perspective we use ECAM access mechanism for all the MCFG
buses except the root ports.

For the root ports we declare additional ACPI devices marked as
"pnp0c02" (motherboard reserved resource) i.e.:

Scope(_SB) 
{
	// PCIe Root bus 
	Device (PCI1) 
	{ 
		Name (_HID, "HISI0080") // PCI Express Root Bridge 
		Name (_CID, "PNP0A03") // Compatible PCI Root Bridge 
		Name(_SEG, 1) // Segment of this Root complex 
		Name(_BBN, 64) // Base Bus Number 
		Name(_CCA, 1)
		Method (_CRS, 0, Serialized) { // Root complex resources 
			Name (RBUF, ResourceTemplate () { 
		
		[...]

				)
			}) // Name(RBUF)
			Return (RBUF)
		} // Method(_CRS)

		Device (RES1)
		{
			Name (_HID, "HISI0081") // HiSi PCIe RC config base address
			Name (_CID, "PNP0C02")  // Motherboard reserved resource
			Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate (){
				Memory32Fixed (ReadWrite, 0xb0080000 , 0x10000)
			})
		}

	     [...]

	} // Device(PCI1)
	


Therefore we declare a perfectly ECAM compliant MCFG and we "waste"
the root ports addresses as in practice for the root ports we replace
the MCFG address with the one retrieved from the ACPI device above.

In terms of "safety" I think it should be ok as in practice we are
reserving some addresses in MCFG that we do not use and the ones
that are used are reserved as well in the ACPI namespace.

>From a general perspective it seems to me that pci_mcfg_lookup
can only parse mcfg entries that are declared according to
the standard (i.e. you cannot declare a hacky mcfg table).

Obviously the quirks allow the vendors to declare their own 
cfg_rd/wr function and therefore to do anything they want with
the MCFG addresses.

>From my perspective I think the easiest solution is to keep this
quirk mechanism in place and then review vendor by vendor solution
as they are pushed to the mailing list; if some vendors are abusing
of some addresses/resources then they can be rejected...

What do you think?

Thanks
