Hi Bjorn,

I tested these two patches on an M7 machine. With these two patches, one 
of the PCI devices was able to claim BAR 0 which it fails to without 
these patches. This device happens to be a NIC, so with these two 
patches, the NIC finally works on my test machine. I have attached log 
showing all the failures to claim a BAR. First file is from 4.16-rc2 
while the second one is from 4.16-rc2+these two patches. There still are 
a number of failures to claim BAR even with these two patches.

I am also attaching /proc/iomem for the 4.16-rc2 kernel and 4.16-rc2 
with these two patches.
