[PATCH 0/4] PCI: endpoint: Add BAR_DISABLED support to PCI endpoint framework

From: Manikanta Maddireddy

When Tegra194 runs in PCIe endpoint mode, BAR1–BAR5 are marked BAR_RESERVED so the
EPF does not allocate backing memory. The host-side pci_endpoint_test driver
still ioremaps all enabled BARs and runs BAR read/write tests on them. Writing to
BAR2 (MSI-X table) or BAR4 (DMA registers) corrupts controller state and breaks
CONSECUTIVE_BAR_TEST. A prior fix reset all BARs in the EPC .init(), so only
BAR0 was visible to the host—tests passed but 64-bit BAR 2 and BAR 4 were no
longer available for real use (e.g. host DMA via BAR4).

This series addresses that by:

1) Adding BAR_DISABLED and clarifying BAR_RESERVED in the PCI endpoint core.
BAR_RESERVED is used for (a) HW-backed BARs (MSI-X, DMA) that the EPC may
leave enabled, and (b) the second register of a 64-bit BAR. BAR_DISABLED is
for unused BARs that the EPC must disable in .init() and the EPF must not
use. pci_epc_get_next_free_bar() treats both as not free.

2) Updating Tegra194 endpoint to use three 64-bit BARs at indices 0, 2, and 4:
BAR0+BAR1 for EPF test/data, BAR2+BAR3 for MSI-X table, BAR4+BAR5 for DMA.
Only BAR0 and BAR1 are reset in .init(); BAR2/BAR3 and BAR4/BAR5 stay
enabled so the host can use MSI-X and DMA.

3) Adding a BAR skip mask to pci_endpoint_test so endpoints can skip the
destructive BAR test on HW-backed BARs. Tegra EP test data skips BAR1–BAR5
(test only BAR0). Adding NVIDIA Tegra194 EP (0x1AD4) and Tegra234 EP (0x229B)
to the pci_endpoint_test_tbl so the host driver can bind and run tests
without corrupting MSI-X or DMA registers.

4) Converting unused BAR_RESERVED to BAR_DISABLED in the Uniphier Pro5 endpoint
(BAR4 and BAR5); BAR1 and BAR3 remain BAR_RESERVED as the high halves of
64-bit BAR0 and BAR2.

With this, CONSECUTIVE_BAR_TEST and DMA tests pass while Tegra194 keeps 64-bit
BAR 2 (MSI-X) and BAR 4 (DMA) enabled for host use.
