Are you sure the eDMA regs aren't just a part of the same space as
iATU and available within the default offset DEFAULT_DBI_DMA_OFFSET?
If it is then drop separate eDMA reg, having just 'atu' will be enough.

If it's some vendor-specific register, then the best solution would be
to create a custom IRQ domain with 'sys' IRQ being a parental IRQ and
with the "dma*" IRQs being the child IRQs. Then you can re-define the
dw_pcie_edma_ops.irq_vector method (and edma.nr_irqs field), which
would return the DMA IRQs from the new sub-domain.

If it's just all the IRQs combined in a single "sys" IRQ line with no
custom way to distinguish one from another, then you can re-define the
dw_pcie_edma_ops.irq_vector method with a method returning the 'sys'
IRQ vector (don't forget to set the edma.nr_irqs field). eDMA IRQ
handler will check whether the IRQ was originated by the eDMA
controller.

This is a standard way of the eDMA IRQs definition. So supposedly there won't
be problem with rk3588

Right, That's what I asked in my very first message.

You can define the normal eDMA IRQs as optional for all Rockchip
controllers (or for rk3588 only). They will be auto-detected by the
DW PCIe core driver as expected if the standard eDMA IRQs are
available. But for the rk3568 you'll need to redefine the
dw_edma_chip.ops operation to have a custom irq_vector() callback as I
described above.

As I mentioned in the first message, if eDMA CSRs are available within
the standard offset PCIE_DMA_UNROLL_BASE with respect to the iATU CSRs
base, then that is a single CSRs space (selected by the DBI_CS2=1 and
CDM_SB=1 internal IP-core signals) and just 'atu' reg is supposed to
be specified.
