From: Akash Goel <akash.goel@xxxxxxxxx>
There is a conflict seen when requesting the kernel to reserve
the physical space used for the stolen area. This is because
as somehow the start/base location of the Parent region
of Stolen area which is PCI Bus 0000:00 is not coinciding with
the start of Stolen area and is conflicting with it. For ex.
from the device memory map info provided by '/proc/iomem',
we have seen that somehow a region of PCI Bus 0000:00 is being
shown to start from 0x7b000001,
i.e. (7b000001-ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00) & not from
0x7b000000. And the stolen base is coming as 0x7b000000,
thus there is a conflict & stolen area remains unused by driver.
So to circumvent this issue we adjust the base of stolen area by
1 byte when registering it with the kernel.
Otherwise if we don't resolve this conflict or don't remove the
conflict error check from the driver, the stolen area will remain
disabled.
