Hello! I mean "size" function argument which is passed as variable.

Function itself is declared as:

static int advk_pcie_rd_conf(struct pci_bus *bus, u32 devfn, int where, int size, u32 *val);

And in "size" argument is stored number of bytes, kind of read operation
(read byte, read word, read dword). In *val is then stored read value.
For byte operation, just low 8 bits in *val variable are set.

Because *val is u32 it means that typeof(*val) is always 4 independently
of the "size" argument.

For example other project U-Boot has also pci-aardvark.c driver and
U-Boot has for (probably same) purpose pci_get_ff() macro, see:
https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/blob/v2021.10/drivers/pci/pci-aardvark.c#L367

I'm not saying if current approach to always sets 0xffffffff
(independently of "size" argument) is correct or not as I do not know
it too! I'm just giving example that this PCI code has very similar
implementation of other project (U-Boot) which sets number of ones based
on the size argument.

So probably something for other people to decide.

Anyway, I very like this your idea to have a macro which purpose is to
explicitly indicate error during config read operation! And to unify all
drivers to use same style for signalling config read error.
