Thank you very much for all the data you've collected, and I apologize
for the fact that this has lingered so long.  Yinghai started fixing
some of these a year ago, but the conversation petered out before it
got completed.

There are several unrelated problems here, so I'm looking at one at a
time.

Below is a test patch (based on fd3b36d27566) for the "conflict with
Video RAM" messages.  Could you try this on one of the machines that
complains about that?  I'm interested in the dmesg and /proc/iomem
contents.  You already attached the lspci output, and I don't think
this patch will affect that.

It looks like everything except T2000 and V245 has this problem (it's
dependent on whether the box has a VGA device and whether firmware has
assigned the VGA framebuffer area to some non-VGA device).  Most of
your machines have other problems as well, and I'll look at those
next.

    sparc/PCI: Request legacy VGA framebuffer only for VGA devices
    
    Previously we unconditionally requested the legacy VGA framebuffer (bus
    address 0xa0000-0xbffff) before we even know what PCI devices are present,
    in these paths:
    
      pci_fire_pbm_init, schizo_pbm_init, pci_sun4v_pbm_init, psycho_pbm_init_common
        pci_determine_mem_io_space
          pci_register_legacy_regions
            p->start = mem_res->start + 0xa0000
            request_resource(mem_res, p)    # claim VGA framebuffer
        pci_scan_one_pbm
          pci_of_scan_bus                   # scan DT for PCI devices
          pci_claim_bus_resources           # claim PCI device BARs
    
    If we found a PCI device with a BAR that overlapped the framebuffer area,
    we complained about not being able to claim the BAR, e.g.,
    
      pci_bus 0002:00: root bus resource [mem 0x7ff00000000-0x7ffffffffff] (bus address [0x00000000-0xffffffff])
      pci 0002:00:07.0: can't claim BAR 1 [mem 0x7ff00000000-0x7ff000fffff]: address conflict with Video RAM area [??? 0x7ff000a0000-0x7ff000bffff flags 0x80000000]
    
    If there is no VGA device in the same PCI segment, there's no reason to
    reserve the framebuffer and there's no conflict.
    
    If there *is* a VGA device in the same segment, both the VGA device and the
    device with an overlapping BAR may respond to the framebuffer addresses,
    which may cause bus errors.
    
    Request the legacy framebuffer area only when we actually find a VGA
    device.  This is not sparc-specific and could be made more generic in the
    PCI core eventually.
