This is correct behaviour. The resource addresses are implied resources.

That is correct, the implied resources end up in the tree as they should
so we now have a correct map of the PCI resources

This is an ugly hack that is done by the libata code to deal with old v
new IDE handling. All is still correct however

ata_pci_init_one should have followed the legacy_mode path at this point,
and the legacy mode path should not be trying to request the legacy
regions the quirk code already reserved.

I suspect the code should only do the pci_request_regions() call if the
device on if (!legacy_mode), and the legacy code should
pci_request_region(pdev, 4, ...);
