My means, needn't add new interface pci_epf_internal_dmac_xfr at epc/epf.
Your R-Car PCI-EP DMA part can implement as a dma engine driver like designware.

So EP functional driver use the same method to operate DMA regardless
EP controller type.

With this approach all the PCIe controllers supporting internal dmac
will have to be added as a DMA driver.

Could you please provide some feedback on the above?
