Subject: Memory and IO space Enabling different in x86 and ARM64

Hi,

I observe that memory and IO space are enabled by BIOS in x86.

In ARM64 we need to call pci_enable_device form End Point to enable these resources.

Why the resource enablement is different in x86 and ARM64 ?

Please correct me if my observation is wrong.

Thanks & Regards,
Bharat
