Dear Mitch Bradley,

The PCI configuration space is *not* mapped in the MMIO space on
Marvell hardware. In the MMIO space of each PCIe interface, there are
many registers, only *two* of which are dedicated to accessing the PCI
configuration space:

 * One register to set the offset in the PCI configuration space.

 * One register to read or write a value in the PCI configuration, at
   the offset specified in the first register.

See the implementation of mvebu_pcie_hw_rd_conf() and
mvebu_pcie_hw_wr_conf() in the driver.

So really, the values specified in the reg = <...> property are *not*
the PCI configuration spaces mapped in the MMIO space. They represent a
bunch of per PCIe interface registers used to configure them, get the
status of the link... and access, through an indirect mechanism, the
PCI configuration space.

Does this helps?

Thanks,

Thomas
