Except that the BARs are queried in the pci devices themselves and
those resources are added w/o any communication to/from ACPI. That's
all done in the pci subsystem internally. Only if

Why do you think it's a broken hierarchy? This CL has the heirarchy:
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/#/c/359432/

There is a device, P2S, which would result in an ACPI companion device
when the pci_dev is added to the device infrastructure by way of
acpi_platform_notify() which does the ACPI companion binding.
device_add() is the caller of platform_notify() which is set to
acpi_platform_notify() in init_acpi_device_notify() by way of
acpi_init().

There are 4 children of the P2S device: GPO0, GPO1, GPO2, GPO3.

Those children devices utilize a sub-resource of the P2S device which
has a pci_dev companion. It's BAR0 is the resource.

I thought I established that by the sysfs readlink I output I
previously provided?

# ls /sys/devices/platform/| grep INT3452
INT3452:00
INT3452:01
INT3452:02
INT3452:03

# ls /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A08:00/device:11 | grep INT3452
INT3452:00
INT3452:01
INT3452:02
INT3452:03

# readlink -f /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A08:00/device:11/INT3452:00/physical_node

The pci_dev is the one owning the parent resource. Even if there is a
companion ACPI device with a resource it doesn't matter because there
will still be a conflict because there is no checking against the
companion. There are 2 parallel entities without any communication
between the PCI subsystem and the ACPI subsystem when resources are
being added.

I believe it's through this mechanism:
acpi_bus_attach() -> acpi_default_enumeration() ->
acpi_create_platform_device() -> platform_device_register_full()
