There is only support to translate from the endpoint to its parent
port, but not in the opposite direction from the parent to the
endpoint. Thus, the endpoint address range cannot be determined and
setup manually. If the parent implements the ->to_hpa() callback and
needs address translation, forbid reprogramming of the decoders and
lock them.

Re-reading this explanation, it reads oddly.

I think what you are trying to say is:

On platforms where endpoint decoders require HPA-to-SPA translation,
decoders cannot be reprogrammed due to opaque translation done by
the platform's memory controllers. When address range is modified
(translated) lock the decoder to prevent reprogramming.

Is this accurate?
