E3930 PCIe memory access issues

Hi,

the tested E3930 SoC (microcode: sig=0x506c9, pf=0x1, revision=0x2c) has issues accessing the 32-bit non-prefetchable memory resource of Xilinx PCIe Endpoint. Within each block of 80-84 bytes only four starting dwords get read correctly, the next dword is the product of dword address, remaining data is zeroed. While the real memory contents are random non-zero data.

The problem appears only on E3930 (in a form of Qseven module), while the same PCIe endpoint works fine with E3845, E3815, x5-E8000. It's also reproducible with Linux (4.8, 4.14) as well as with EFI Shell, changing the PCI/PCIe configuration doesn't appear to help. No errors reported by endpoint/root port.

EFI Shell dump (zeroed data returned is incorrect):
