cdns,max-outbound-regions defined here doesn't configure the BARs. BARs provide
an interface for the host to access the endpoints memory. IOW for BARs we
configure the inbound address translation unit.

cdns,max-outbound-regions is used while configuring the outbound address
translation unit. Outbound regions are used while the endpoint access host
memory and in that path endpoint BARs doesn't come.

All of that is correct for the Host or RC. However here
cdns,max-outbound-regions is an endpoint specific property (defined only in
cdns-pcie-ep.yaml) and is useful while configuring OB address translation unit
for the endpoint to access host memory.
