The hardware description for BARs is scattered in many different variables in pci_epc_features. Some of these things are mutually exclusive, so it can create confusion over which variable that has precedence over another. Improve the situation by creating a struct pci_epc_bar_desc, and a new enum pci_epc_bar_type, and convert the endpoint controller drivers to use this more well defined format. Additionally, some endpoint controller drivers mark the BAR succeeding a "64-bit only BAR" as reserved, while some do not. By definition, a 64-bit BAR uses the succeeding BAR for the upper 32-bits, so an EPF driver cannot use a BAR succeeding a 64-bit BAR. Ensure that all endpoint controller drivers are uniform, and actually describe a reserved BAR as reserved.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
