This looks like an incorrect assignment, i.e., possibly a BIOS defect:
7d:00.0 and 7d:00.3 are assigned the same space for bar7:

  7d:00.0 bar7: 0x121010000-0x12103ffff 128K [64bit pref]
  7d:00.3 bar7: 0x121010000-0x12103ffff 128K [64bit pref]

What is the incorrect allocation here?  This looks the same as the
original assignment from BIOS, except that BAR 7 (the VF BAR 2 space)
no longer overlaps BAR 7 of 7d:00.0.

In this case you removed a function and re-added the same function
later, so it needs the same amount of resources.  In that case, I
agree, we probably shouldn't change the bridge window.  But I don't
think we *did* change the bridge window here.  Did I miss something?

I agree the messages about BAR 14 (the non-prefetchable window) are
confusing and we probably shouldn't have even tried to assign space
for it.

I guess I'm missing something, because other than the annoying BAR 14
messages, I don't see the actual problem here.
