Hi Yinghai,

Picking this up again after thanksgiving.......

The device does work with this patch. Doesn't this warning mean BAR6 
resources could not be reserved which means the device driver may not be 
able to get the BAR6 resource at some point if another device grabs the 
unreserved resource?

David M had pointed out an issue with how OF driver uses the same 
address range for all ROMs enabling them only one at a time. That seems 
to be in play here in the issue I am seeing. Does this patch series need 
to address this?

Thanks,
Khalid
