In general, there's no reason we can't reassign BARs, whether we're
using DT, ACPI, or whatever.  In many cases, systems with ACPI also
assign all the BARs in firmware, and Linux doesn't reassign them
unless it needs to.  But that's just a coincidence.  There's no
requirement that Linux leave BARs as firmware programmed them.
