Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] An off-by-one error in the inbound window limit check allows one more window than supported by hardware to be processed, leading to out-of-bounds register writes.
- [High] The MSI target address calculation incorrectly hardcodes the array index `inbound_wins[2]`, evaluating either a disabled zero-sized window or uninitialized stack memory instead of the main inbound window.

PCI: brcmstb: Split up complicated function into two variants

This patch refactors brcm_pcie_get_inbound_wins into two variants: one for
newer chips and one for older chips. It updates the configuration data
structures to assign the appropriate function pointer to get_ib_wins.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this off-by-one check allow n to
exceed the maximum hardware window count?

Because add_inbound_win() post-increments n, if a device tree provides more
dma-ranges than the maximum supported hardware windows, n can exceed
num_inbound_wins before the break occurs. The function will then return
this oversized window count.

If this happens, when brcm_pcie_set_ib_win_registers() subsequently iterates
over the returned count, could it fetch an out-of-bounds register offset
and overwrite unrelated hardware configuration space?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does the setup logic later in this
function rely on inbound_wins[2] being initialized and valid?

In brcm_pcie_setup(), the inbound_wins array is allocated on the stack.
Later in the function, it calculates the MSI target address like this:

    if (inbound_wins[2].pci_offset >= SZ_4G ||
        (inbound_wins[2].size + inbound_wins[2].pci_offset) < SZ_4G)
            pcie->msi_target_addr = BRCM_MSI_TARGET_ADDR_LT_4GB;
    else
            pcie->msi_target_addr = BRCM_MSI_TARGET_ADDR_GT_4GB;

For newer SoCs using brcm_pcie_get_ib_wins(), if the device tree provides
fewer than 3 dma-ranges entries, could this logic read uninitialized stack
memory?

For older SoCs using brcm_pcie_get_ib_wins_internal_map(), inbound_wins[2]
is deliberately populated as a zero-sized, disabled window. Does evaluating
this zeroed window result in misconfiguring the MSI target address,
potentially causing PCIe device interrupts to fail?
