CfgRd1 and CfgWr1 transactions are needed when an EP is not directly 
connected to RC, rather connected through a bridge. For more detail see 
PCIe specs.
Now, if we wish to generate a CfgRd/Wr1 transaction using SNPS 
controller then we can not use same programmed viewport as that for 
CfgRd/Wr0. However, a viewport can be reprogrammed using same physical 
cfg address to generate either cfg0 or cfg1. So, in that case we can do 
with only one cfg area and no reason to divide it into two.
Current code assumes that there are only 4 viewports available (2 in 
outbound and 2 in inbound direction) and it always programs viewport 
dynamically for cfg0/1 as per need. But same can not be true for all 
implementations. There can be a case where hardware has sufficient 
number of viewports and software does not need to reprogram it 
dynamically. In that situation different physical memory area for each 
type of TLP would make the execution faster.

Yes address space are same, but at any moment they work either as dbi 
space or as configuration/io/memory space depending on the dbi_enable 
bit of application register. Similar functionality was there in one 
older SPEAr implementation.

In SPEAr1340 PCIe memory layout is as follows:

DBI base (0xB1000000 to 0xB1001FFF): This space is used to read/write 
own PCI Configuration Header, Capability and Port Logic(PL) Registers.

ELBI space (0xB1002000 to  0xB17FFFFF): These are completely SPEAr 
specific application registers.

configuration/io/memory space(0x80000000 to 0x8FFFFFFF): These can be 
used in viewport programming to generate different type of outbound 
transaction.
