128MB is the minimum size of window available to configure outbound
memory. But size of 32bit AXI address region
of our controller is 32MB. Also this 32bit AXI address region has to
configure in OARR0. so that 32bit AXI address region
is configured in 128MB window of OARR0.
this is the reason in the below to allow ob window configure only when
size_idx is 0 which means window size 128MB
and window_idx is 0 means OARR0 else continue using (size_idx > 0 ||
window_idx > 0) condition.

Srinath.
