OK, that all makes sense.

One question though: When you say "device" in the line above, I assume
the device you're referring to is the PCIe host device, and not the
individual PCIe devices themselves; with 20 address decoding windows and
10 PCIe ports, and those windows apparently being used for on-SoC
devices too (e.g. you mention NAND above), I assume you'd want to limit
the number of windows you use per PCIe bus/port to just 1, rather than 1
per enumerated PCIe device?
