How is 'addr_space' filled in the pcie endpoint controller device tree node?

Hello linux experts and users,

When I analyze
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.15.68/source/drivers/pci/controller/dwc/
pcie-designware-ep.c#L777, 
The struct dw_pcie_ep contains a member msi_mem and the driver generates msi
interrupt by writing the given data at that address.
(see line 533 of the dw_pcie_ep_raise_msi_irq function)
So that address (ep->msi_mem) is the host address (probably GICV3's ITS's
GITS_TRANSLATER register address) that the host has told the endpoint.
But when I trace the code how the msi_mem (virtual address) is decided, I
see (in processing order in the dw_pcie_ep_init function) :

	res = platform_get_resource_byname(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM,
"addr_space");

	ep->phys_base = res->start;
	ep->addr_size = resource_size(res);

	ret = pci_epc_mem_init(epc, ep->phys_base, ep->addr_size,
		ep->page_size);

	ep->msi_mem = pci_epc_mem_alloc_addr(epc, &ep->msi_mem_phys,
		epc->mem->window.page_size);

the allocate function allocates some port of the "addr_space" range and
returns the virtual address (and fills the second argument with physical
address).
Then is this 'addr_space' filled by the boot loader? How can I know the
host's ITS register range seen from the endpoint? (I mean the host PCI
bridge will have a translation function that converts upstream PCI address
--> host CPU's physical address, or IO virtual address if the host uses
IOMMU betwen the PCIe and ITS).
Any comment will be really appreciated.
Thank you!
