This is the same problem as https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15744

The snippet below shows that BIOS left the 00:1f.2 BAR at
[mem 0xff970000-0xff9707ff], which is not in any of the host bridge
MMIO windows, so Linux moved it.  Unfortunately, we moved it to 0xa0000,
which was not a good choice.

The patch here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=26149
(attached as comment #11 to 15744) should fix the problem.

Let me know if it doesn't.
