I noticed that the Synopsys driver suffers from a similar issue: in
dw_pcie_rd_other_conf(), it happily reprograms the outbound I/O window
to perform a config space access, and switches it back to I/O space
afterwards (unless it has more than 2 viewports, in which case it uses
dedicated windows for I/O space and config space)
