All good points. I changed the patch to use a new flag
IORESOURCE_PCI_IGNORE that skips the whole bar process
(except for the BAR size, which are ok in my case at least).

Also fixed to handle all BARs.

Does that look better?

x86, pci: Add quirk for unsizeable Broadwell EP bar
    
The Home Agent and PCU PCI devices in Broadwell-EP have a BAR that returns a
non zero value when read, but is still not sizeable (because it doesn't
exist).  This causes several [Firmware error] messages at boot. It does
not cause any functional problems, as the devices really have no BARs.

Add a PCI quirk to shut off the messages.

Since the message is printed before the normal header fixup add EARLY
fixups. This requires changing the PCI probe code to not override
the resource flags unconditionally, so that the quirk can set flags.

(I believe that's ok, they should be always zero before, but please double
check)

I used a new resource flag that causes the BAR to be ignored

v2: Handle all BARs, not just BAR0 (Chaohong Guo)
Switch over to using IORESOURCE_PCI_IGNORE over FIXED
