Thanks. The FW change is a good clue. If everything works with
version 4.03, but it doesn't work with version 4.04, it's likely to be
a FW problem, not a Linux PCI core problem.
Here's what I see from your logs. In slot 4 (bus 08), the card was
present before boot, you removed it, re-added it, and it failed after
being re-added. Slot 3 (bus 06) was empty at boot, you hot-added a
card, and it worked. Here are the resources available on those two
buses and the boot-time config of the first device in slot 4:
pci 0000:00:07.0: PCI bridge to [bus 06-07]

After you remove and re-add the card in slot 4, it starts with
uninitialized BARs as expected, then we assign resources to it. It's
sort of interesting that the BIOS had originally put the ROM (reg 30)
in the non-prefetchable window, while after the hot-add, Linux places
it in the prefetchable window. Either should work, and in fact the
card you added in slot 3 *does* work with its ROM in the prefetchable
window.

When you hot-add the card in slot 3, it starts with uninitialized BARs
as expected, but again, we assign valid resources to it:
pci 0000:06:00.0: [1077:2532] type 00 class 0x0c0400
pci 0000:06:00.0: reg 10: [io 0x0000-0x00ff]
pci 0000:06:00.0: reg 14: [mem 0x00000000-0x00003fff 64bit]
pci 0000:06:00.0: reg 30: [mem 0x00000000-0x0003ffff pref]
pci 0000:06:00.0: BAR 0: assigned [io 0xc000-0xc0ff]
pci 0000:06:00.0: BAR 1: assigned [mem 0xf9000000-0xf9003fff 64bit]
pci 0000:06:00.0: BAR 6: assigned [mem 0xf1000000-0xf103ffff pref]
I don't see anything wrong from a PCI perspective. I suspect
something strange in the card firmware.
If you do figure out something wrong in PCI, let me know.
