It's buried in there:

If we fail to assign resources to a BAR, in some cases we set
res->flags = 0.  There are other cases where we set IORESOURCE_UNSET,
and that's the direction I want to go for all situations where we
don't assign resources.  But right now, we have a mix where flags is
zero in some cases (including the one Zhang found), and has
IORESOURCE_UNSET in others.

I'll try to wordsmith this in the changelog when I apply this.
