Region-0 is used for config space translation
Region-1 is used for non-prefetchable memory translation
Region-2 is used for I/O translation
So, there is no region reserved for translating prefetchable memory regions.

Not Tegra driver but Tegra HW. Tegra HW doesn't need any ATU outbound
translation for prefetchable (for that matter any 1-to-1 mapping to
generate memory transactions on the PCIe bus).
The Warning is still valid for both Tegra and other DWC based
controllers for non-prefetchable memory translation.
