No. Not just ordering. There's no parent-child relationship taken into
account when PCI devices are added to the resource tree. Deferring
adding an ACPI device's resources would likely fail similarly because
one doesn't take into account the proper parent. One lives in PCI land
-- the other in ACPI land.

Currently, the issue is manifesting that the ACPI device's resources
are added into the resource tree. PCI devices the follow trying to add
their own resources. Conflicts ensue without taking into account the
proper hierarchy. To make matters worse, struct resource doesn't have
a struct device -- only a name. That means there's no way of knowing
who owns what resource. All that information is unavailable. That's
why the semi-hacky proposal was to see if there is an ACPI companion
device and see if it has children. If it's children's names match the
conflicting resource it's a good bet that the PCI device's resources
should be placed as the parent in the resource tree.

BARs look to be assigned during enumeration. There's where conflicts
are found and resources reassigned in the current failing case.
