Some SoCs may allocate more address space for a bridge window than can
be covered by a single ATU region. Allow using a larger bridge window
by allocating multiple adjacent ATU regions.
Signed-off-by: Samuel Holland <samuel.holland@sifive.com>

An example of where this is needed is the ESWIN EIC7700 SoC[1]. The SoC
decodes 128 GiB of address space to the PCIe controller. Without this
change, only 8 GiB is usable; after this change 48 GiB (6 ATU regions)
is usable, which allows using PCIe cards with >8 GiB BARs:
eic7700-pcie 54000000.pcie: host bridge /soc/pcie@54000000 ranges:
eic7700-pcie 54000000.pcie: IO 0x0040800000..0x0040ffffff -> 0x0040800000

I had a similar patch floating around that I wanted to upstream, but I
figured I should take a look at lore before sending it in case someone
else had the same idea. Looks like great mind think alike :^). I have
attached my version the patch to this email and will leave some feedback
inline. If you want to incorporate some of my changes, feel free to add
Acked-by: Charles Mirabile <cmirabil@redhat.com>
or even a Co-developed-by and my DCO.

`resource_size_t` might be a better fit for this

I think it might be bad if you were to only able to partially map a given
resource. In my version, I keep the original check outside the loop with
merely `break`, but return an error from probe in this check.

I had to look up the difference because I couldn't remember—I used `MIN`
here instead of `min`. I think `MIN` is approriate, but I am not sure it
really matters so you could keep `min`.

I also included an attempt at the inbound window version after seeing
Nilkas's feedback.

1) Personal opinion, but perhaps:
total_size -= atu.size;
if (total_size) {
atu.parent_bus_addr += atu.size;
atu.pci_addr += atu.size;
}
To more clearly show that these lines are performed/relevant only if
total_size > atu_limit ?
2) Perhaps convert the loop from:
do {
} while (total_size);
To a:
while (total_size) {
}
I don't see any reason for this to be a do-while loop.
while () also has the benefit that you will not "waste" an outbound iatu
if you get a window of size 0.
3) Since you are modifying the outbound range to support sizes > atu_limit,
I think you should do the same change for dma-ranges (inbound translation):
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.18-rc1/drivers/pci/controller/dwc/pcie-designware-host.c#L928-L948
Because it feels inconsistent if we allow size > atu_limit for outbound,
but not for inbound translation.
