Thanks Arnd.

I'm facing issue in testing IO bars on our SoC.

I added following ranges in our device tree :
ranges = <0x01000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0xe0000000 0 0x00100000   //io
             0x02000000 0x00000000 0xe0100000 0x00000000 0xe0100000 0 0x0ef00000>;   //non prefetchabe memory

And I'm using above API to map the res and cpu physical address in my driver.

IO assignment fails.

        Region 4: I/O ports at <unassigned> [disabled]

When I tested on x86 machine the same End Point I/O address is assigned, but it is a IO port mapped address.

So my doubt is why the memory mapped IO addresses are not assigned to EP on SoC ?

Do we need to have port mapped addresses on SoC also for PCI IO bars ?

Please let me know If I'm doing something wrong or missing something.
