SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] bus: mvebu-mbus: Avoid setting an undefined window size

Yes, that is right. I tested my patch here and didn't see any problem,
but I realize now that the mbus code is bailing early due to this:

kernel: mvebu_mbus: cannot add window '4:e8', conflicts with another window

Which I've never got around to fixing.. (whole other story there)

Your patch looks fine, and it obviously needs to be sequenced before
mine. (Thomas/Jason C: how do you want to do this?)

Mask isn't the right word, maybe:

mvebu_pcie_handle_membase_change() and
mvebu_pcie_handle_iobase_change() do not correctly compute the window
size. PCI uses an inclusive start/end address pair, which requires a
+1 when converting to size.

This only worked because a bug in the mbus driver allowed it to
silently accept and round up bogus sizes.

Fix this by adding one to the computed size.

Regards,
Jason
