Now I missed it, and also find this description in the databook.

Surely writing 0 to dbi2.BARn (BAR mask) register disables BARn.
I tried to do that using UniPhier SoC, and found disabling any BARs in
the same way.

On the other hand, some other SoCs might have BAR masks fixed by the DWC
IP configuration. These BARs will be exposed to the host even if the BAR
mask is set to 0. However, such case hasn't been upstreamed, so there is
no need to worry about them now.

The am654 driver just doesn't call dw_pcie_ep_reset_bar(), so this case
probably doesn't apply.

Thank you,
