Xlink-pcie comprises of local host (ARM CPU) and remote host (IA CPU)
variants. It is a transport layer that establishes communication between
them.
local_host/ running on ARM CPU is based on PCI Endpoint Framework
remote_host/ running on IA CPU is a PCIe Endpoint driver
As these two variants are architecturally different, we are maintaining
under two directories.

Thanks for pointing out, I will use appropriate error value to return.

Sure, I will change to return -EINVAL.

I had to break this as the checkpatch complained about 80-line warning.
I will fix this to have better indentation.

PCI BAR attributes, as inputs, are coming from the PCIe controller driver
through PCIe End Point Framework. These checks are required to compare the
configuration this driver is expecting to the configuration coming from
the PCIe controller driver.
FYI, PCIe controller driver for Intel Keem Bay is currently under review:
