Ah, thanks for investigating that -- I completely missed the explicit
devm_ callback. That resolves my concern about the config space mappings,
but I still don't understand what happens to the resources allocated
in of_pci_get_host_bridge_resources. It looks like they should actually
be freed within that function, since pci_add_resource{_offset} copy the
resources into their own resource_entries anyway.

Am I missing something?
