Running a graphics adapter on the MACCHIATObin fails due to an
insufficently sized memory window.
Enlarge the memory window for the PCIe slot to 512 MiB.
With the patch I am able to use a GT710 graphics adapter with 1 GB onboard
memory.
These are the mapped memory areas that the graphics adapter is actually
using:
Region 0: Memory at cc000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
Region 1: Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
Region 3: Memory at c8000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M]
Region 5: I/O ports at 1000 [size=128]
Expansion ROM at ca000000 [disabled] [size=512K]

I think "insufficient" is enough or I miss something.

From my point of view this patch is correct, I don't think it is a
problem to map more memory. So I applied on it mvebu/dt64.
But I add also Thomas in CC who know better the PCIe support on mvebu/
Thanks,

Actually I was said that using an adverbe was the thing to do, so I've
just fix the typo by adding the missing "i". you don't have to resend
it.

I thought it was documented in the MAINTAINER file but I was wrong, so I
will fix it.
I referred to git://git.infradead.org/linux-mvebu.git
this branch will be merged in our for-next branch when 5.2-rc1 will be
released, so it will be part of linux-next.

While I understand the change, I find it is a bit of a "one-off"
solution, which will only work specifically for the MacchiatoBin. But
admittedly, there isn't really a good generic solution: depending on
the number of PCIe ports and what you connect to them, you will need
windows of different sizes.
On older Armada platforms, it works a bit better because we have a
single PCIe MEM aperture and a single PCIe I/O aperture, from which all
PCIe ports allocate: each PCIe interface is a child bus of an emulated
root port.
Unfortunately, on Armada 7K/8K, each PCIe interface is seen as an
independent root complex, so we have one PCIe I/O aperture and one PCIe
MEM aperture for each.
