^^ Is this a backward compatible fixup. If I were to apply this on
v5.10, wont we have a broken PCIe functionality? Drop the fixes if this
is not backward compatible fixup (unless ofcourse the driver fixup is
backported all the way back as well - I am assuming will be done in a
manner to preserve compatibility with older dtb?)

On master right now:
$ git grep "cdns,max-outbound-regions" .
