No, you don't need any quirks: you just do an "insert_resource()" and ignore the error return. If the (bogus) PnP resource clashes with the (correct) hardware PCI resource, the insert will simply fail. No quirks needed. > But it's kind of > ugly to have the ACPI PCI root driver early and other PNP drivers > later because they're basically similar animals. No they are not. If one does just device enumeration, and the other does resource registrations, then they ARE NOT similar animals at all. Don't claim that they are.
