Some internal discussion implies this shouldn't be required; here's
what they said:

All PCIE root port registers are in configuration space. To access
them, as well as configuration registers of PCIE devices below the
bridge, you will need to program the AXI to FPCI BAR mappings defined
in AFI. After programmed those, the configuration register space of
PCIE fabric are mapped to Tegra's MMIO register space. I take it back
that T30 and [elided] have differences - that was for other units, not
PCIE.

As Mark said, all AFI's own registers are in MMIO space and can be
accessed directly.

Thanks,
Luke

There are pci bridge registers but also registers to configure the
PCIE wrapper.  AFAIK all Tegra devices (T20/T30/[elided]) have
compliant bridge registers but also need AFI (PCIE wrapper)
configuration updates as well.
