Hi Mani,

Binding incorrectly specifies the 'DBI' region as 'ELBI'. DBI is a must
have region for DWC controllers as it has the Root Port and controller
specific registers, while ELBI has optional registers.

Hence, fix the binding. Though this is an ABI break, this change is needed
to accurately describe the PCI memory map.

Not fan of this ABI break, the current bindings should be marked as deprecated instead.


Fair enough. Will make it as deprecated.

The true question is what value was being passed as that item (ELBI)?
Because if this was always DBI - device has DBI there - then what
deprecation would change?

Nothing, except not breaking old DTs with the binding check. That's why I
decided to remove it in the first place.


Neil, do you still insist on marking the 'elbi' region deprecated than removing
it?

Not really. if the original definition was wrong, let's fix it.
