Seems reasonable. I'll fix the comment to being clearer.

BTW since we omit setting the DMA_BYPASS flag of the outbound iATU
windows, the DMA address is actually affected by the DW PCIe
controller but in a bit of a sophisticated way. AFAIU if no DMA_BYPASS
flag specified and the resultant TLP address falls into any outbound
iATU window, the address will be translated in accordance with that
window translation rule. So happen the chains like this:
+ DMA write:
CPU memory <-,-> eDMA LLi:SAR(CPU address, data) -> eDMA LLi:DAR(DMA address, data) ->
Outbound iATU TLP MWr(PCIe address, data) -> PCIe memory.
+ DMA read:
eDMA SAR(DMA address, ?) -> Outbound iATU TLP MRd(PCIe address, ?) ->
PCIe memory -> Outbound iATU TLP MRd(PCIe address, data) -> eDMA
SAR(DMA address, data) -> eDMA DAR(CPU address, data) -> CPU memory

Due to that handy feature we don't need to search for the PCIe bus
memory range matching the passed source and destination DMA addresses
of the SG-lists. It is done by the Outbound iATU engine automatically.
If the DMA_BYPASS flag was set, all the Outbound iATU-related stages
would have been omitted from the diagram above and the DMA<->PCIe
translations would have needed to be performed in the eDMA driver
code.
