Reviving this old thread as rk3566 support in mainline U-Boot is
getting usable which prompted me to look at the PCIe address map
issues again.

It seems translation isn't actually broken.  At least I got it to work
with a slight twist.  What seems to be happening is that reads (and
writes?) to the first 64 MB of the PCIe memory address space
(0x00000000-0x03ffffff) don't make it out to the PCIe device.  I
suspect they are somehow claimed by the RC, maybe because the BAR for
the root complex isn't properly disabled.

If I change the PCIe bus addess of the mmio window from 0x00000000 to
0x40000000 like so:

    ranges = <0x01000000 0x0 0x3ef00000 0x3 0x3ef00000 0x0 0x00100000
              0x02000000 0x0 0x40000000 0x3 0x00000000 0x0 0x3ef00000>;

my NVMe drive seems to work just fine.  I picked 0x40000000 here
because it is nicely aligned on a 1GB boundary, which matches the size
of the region.  Diff against a recent linux-next at the end of this
mail.

So what I think is happening is that Linux is allocating resources
from the top of the region.  So only if you have a more complicated
PCIe hierarchy it ends up allocating from the low 64 MB and runs into
the issue.  OpenBSD on the other hand allocates from the bottom, which
pretty much guarantees that I hit the issue.

Now this could be a driver bug.  As far as I can tell BAR0/1 is
properly disabled, but maybe there is some additional bit that we need
to set.  But I don't think there are any downsides of my workaround.
We can still provide a ~1GB mmio range; it just starts at 0x40000000
instead of 0x00000000.

Maybe somebody can test this on Linux?
