Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Do not restore firmware BAR assignments behind a PCI-PCI bridge

Fix an issue with the Tyan Tomcat IV S1564D system, the BIOS of which
does not assign PCI buses beyond #2, where our resource reallocation
code preserves the reset default of an I/O BAR assignment outside its
upstream PCI-to-PCI bridge's I/O forwarding range for device 06:08.0 in
this log:

Since both 06:08.0 and 06:08.1 have the same reset defaults the latter
device escapes its fate and gets a good assignment owing to an address
conflict with the former device.

Consequently when the device driver tries to access 06:08.0 according to
its designated address range it pokes at an unassigned I/O location,
likely subtractively decoded by the southbridge and forwarded to ISA,
causing the driver to become confused and bail out:

uhci_hcd 0000:06:08.0: host system error, PCI problems?
uhci_hcd 0000:06:08.0: host controller process error, something bad happened!
uhci_hcd 0000:06:08.0: host controller halted, very bad!
uhci_hcd 0000:06:08.0: HCRESET not completed yet!
uhci_hcd 0000:06:08.0: HC died; cleaning up

if good luck happens or if bad luck does, an infinite flood of messages:

uhci_hcd 0000:06:08.0: host system error, PCI problems?
uhci_hcd 0000:06:08.0: host controller process error, something bad happened!
uhci_hcd 0000:06:08.0: host system error, PCI problems?
uhci_hcd 0000:06:08.0: host controller process error, something bad happened!
uhci_hcd 0000:06:08.0: host system error, PCI problems?
uhci_hcd 0000:06:08.0: host controller process error, something bad happened!
[...]

making the system virtually unusuable.

This is because we have code to deal with a situation from PR #16263,
where broken ACPI firmware reports the wrong address range for the host
bridge's decoding window and trying to adjust to the window causes more
breakage than leaving the BIOS assignments intact.

This may work for a device directly on the root bus decoded by the host
bridge only, but for a device behind one or more PCI-to-PCI (or CardBus)
bridges those bridges' forwarding windows have been standardised and
need to be respected, or leaving whatever has been there in a downstream
device's BAR will have no effect as cycles for the addresses recorded
there will have no chance to appear on the bus the device has been
immediately attached to.

Do not restore the firmware assignment for a device behind a PCI-to-PCI
bridge then, fixing the system concerned as follows:

pci_bus 0000:00: max bus depth: 4 pci_try_num: 5

and making device 06:08.0 work correctly.

Scrap it.

Something kept bothering me about this fix and I have double-checked with
PR 16263, and the problematic device there also was behind a PCI-to-PCI
bridge, which I have somehow missed previously, though within the bridge's
forwarding window. So a more stringent rule will be required to keep both
cases happy and I'll make v2 shortly that only refrains from restoring the
original assignment when it is outside the relevant upstream bridge's
forwarding window.
