I am not sure here. IIRC, then calling  pci_assign_unassigned_resources after
pci_common_init_dev was needed to handle few PCIe cards with EP behind
bridge.

I do not have good understanding of pci resource allocation code.
@Yinghai: Can you please help(rather teach) with the description of
different resource allocator
available in setup-bus.c. Can try reading code, but if a documentation
exists, that would
be helpful.

pci_assign_unassigned_resources() should try several times to make sure
assign resource to PCI bars that are not assigned by BIOS or not valid value
from BIOS.
so it will honor the setting from BIOS.

in your arm case, pci_common_init_dev() is doing sizing and assign.
so you should not need that pci_assign_unassigned_resources() anymore.

Or your setup have PCI_PROBE_ONLY ?

Thanks for the clarification.

I think none of the designware based platform boots with *firmware*, so none of
the setup should have PCI_PROBE_ONLY. Then patch seems fine.

There are customers using Keystone platform on which u-boot sets up BAR and use firmware option to honor BAR assignment done by the boot loader. How does this change that use case? If this still works with this change, no issues. If not, I would suggest this shouldn't be removed. Any expert here who can comment on this? Keystone driver is just getting merged to upstream branch and is based on designware.
