... address range 0xfed98000-0xfed9ffff has been reserved by motherboard

0000:00:04.0 for thermal management functionality. The BAR0 of
0000:00:04.0 may be locked down (can't be changed by OS) because the ACPI
BIOS may have dependency on the assigned address ranges.
I don't think the BAR can be completely read-only. If it were, we wouldn't
have any way to determine its size. We believe it is 32K in size:
pci 0000:00:04.0: reg 10: [mem 0xfed98000-0xfed9ffff 64bit]
so we should have written 0xffffffff to the low 32 bits of the BAR and read
back 0xffff8004 (32K = 2^15, so the low-order 15 bits should be read-only,
including the prefetchable bit (0), the type bits (10 for 64-bit), and the
memory space indicator (0)).
Can you experiment with setting that BAR manually, e.g., by running these
commands as root:
# setpci -s 00:04.0 COMMAND BASE_ADDRESS_0 BASE_ADDRESS_1
# setpci -s 00:04.0 BASE_ADDRESS_0=0xdfa00000
# setpci -s 00:04.0 BASE_ADDRESS_0 BASE_ADDRESS_1
planet:0[root]>setpci -s 00:04.0 COMMAND BASE_ADDRESS_0 BASE_ADDRESS_1
0006
fed98004
00000000
planet:0[root]>setpci -s 00:04.0 BASE_ADDRESS_0=0xdfa00000
planet:0[root]>setpci -s 00:04.0 BASE_ADDRESS_0 BASE_ADDRESS_1
fed98004
00000000
planet:0[root]
So it seems to work but does not change the base address (or was that what
you meant by "does not work")
That's basically what the kernel does in pci_update_resource(), so this
will likely fail, too.
In __pci_read_base(), where we size the BAR, we disable decoding first,
which we *don't* do in pci_update_resource(). So if the above doesn't
work, can you try this:
# setpci -s 00:04.0 COMMAND BASE_ADDRESS_0 BASE_ADDRESS_1
# setpci -s 00:04.0 COMMAND=0
# setpci -s 00:04.0 BASE_ADDRESS_0=0xdfa00000
# setpci -s 00:04.0 BASE_ADDRESS_0 BASE_ADDRESS_1
planet:0[root]>setpci -s 00:04.0 COMMAND BASE_ADDRESS_0 BASE_ADDRESS_1
0006
fed98004
00000000
planet:0[root]>setpci -s 00:04.0 COMMAND=0
planet:0[root]>setpci -s 00:04.0 BASE_ADDRESS_0=0xdfa00000
planet:0[root]>setpci -s 00:04.0 BASE_ADDRESS_0 BASE_ADDRESS_1
fed98004
00000000
planet:0[root]>
Ie, same thing-- no change in the address.
