No, it isn't by accident.

The enumeration of PCI devices under a PCI host bridge discovered via ACPI
starts in acpi_pci_root_add() which quite explicitly is only called after
enumerating the ACPI namespace entirely.

acpi_bus_scan() has two passes now, one is to call acpi_bus_check_add() for
all namespace objects and the other is the acpi_bus_attach() pass where
all things like acpi_pci_root_add() are called.

Isn't the problem a probe ordering issue, though?

Do we assign BARs for endpoints during enumeration or only when we find a
matching driver?
