I've been looking at this more closely. A child ACPI device under a
ACPI PCI device doesn't change the resource conflict even when a _CRS
method is added to the ACPI PCI device.  Below is my sleuthing which
is probably not a surprise to anyone here, but please correct me where
I am wrong.

acpi_init() and pci_subsys_init() are both subsys_initcalls during
boot up. I'm not sure if the ordering is dumb luck or not, but
acpi_init() is called prior to pci_subsys_init(). The conflict error
is spit out from pcibios_resource_survey() by way of pci_subsys_init()
 subsys_initcall. However, the PCI device scanning is kicked off prior
to this through acpi_scan_init() by way of acpi_init()
subsys_initcall.  The conflict error occurs because there's already
the child ACPI device in the resource tree. I'm not sure when/where
those ACPI devices' resources are added, but clearly they are sitting
in there since the conflict was found.

Somewhere along the way a PCI device from a scan is linked with the
ACPI device for that same PCI device in sysfs.  This is with me
putting a _HID and _CID in the PCI ACPI device.
# readlink -f /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A08:00/INT5A92:00/physical_node
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0d.0
# readlink -f /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:0d.0/firmware_node/
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A08:00/INT5A92:00

So the hierarchy is known eventually, but it's clearly not honored
when adding resources. The current ACPI support doesn't handle
PciBarTarget which initially sounds (from ACPI spec) like the way to
go for referencing a resource in a PCI device from an ACPI device. So
that's out of the question currently, but maybe someone has a patch
for that? I don't think reordering the acpi_init() and
pci_subsys_init() would do anything different except change which
device discovers the conflict.

Is there a way to honor the ACPI device hierarchy during resource
addition for the PCI devices? The conflict is found because of the
presence of a child device claiming resources through _CRS.
Alternatively, is there a good way to defer the probing of an ACPI
device until one knows PCI resources have been added?

Any insights would be very helpful. Thank you.
