There is no need for pci_epc_map_addr() when using DMA_SLAVE *for DWC-based
controllers*.
Are we certain that this will not break pci-epf-test for non DWC-based
controllers?

I agree that we should definitely skip pci_epc_map_addr() in pci-epf-test when
using DMA_SLAVE on DWC-based controllers, but I don't feel comfortable in
submitting a patch that does this unconditionally for pci-epf-test.c,
as I don't know how the DMA hardware in:
drivers/pci/controller/cadence/pcie-cadence-ep.c
drivers/pci/controller/pcie-rcar-ep.c
drivers/pci/controller/pcie-rockchip-ep.c
works, and I do not want to regress them.
I did suggest that DWC-based drivers could set a DMA_SLAVE_SKIP_MEM_MAP flag
or similar when registering the eDMA, which pci-epf-test then could check,
but I got no response if anoyone else thought that this was a good idea.
Kind regards,
Niklas
