Yes, i have checked for enough MMIO space multiple times.

I didn't get this, if a SR-IOV device is connected to a PCI-PCI bridge
and inturn bridge connected to root port. Then the parent bus is not root,
but the bridge. The issue is either hierarchy should not be checked for
SR-IOV resources or someone should set the hierarchy (i.e parent resources).
