Hi Prabhakar-san,

Just in my opinion though, automatically adding new line of email client
should be disabled or setting larger characters.
# In my side, I change the setting as 132 characters on Outlook :)

I'm sorry, but I meant the window member is in the left side (mem->window.phys_base).
In other words, this patch changes the struct pci_epc_mem like below, but
I'm thinking this change is not needed because struct pci_epc will have
multiple windows as "array of address space of the endpoint controller".
---
struct pci_epc_mem {
- phys_addr_t phys_base;
- size_t size;
+ struct pci_epc_mem_window window;
---

Yes, I understood it.

I meant the left side. No one change the mem->window.page_size so that
the value seems to be 0. Of course, for now, this is no problem because
no one uses this value though.

* @mem: default address space of the endpoint controller.

And, if I assumed the "array of address space of the endpoint controller"
is renamed as struct pci_epc_mem **windows and when __pci_epc_mem_init() is succeeded,
the function should set the mem value right before return as the first window like below.

+ epc->mem = epc->windows[0];
+ epc->num_windows = num_windows;

return 0;
