Good, I'm glad this actually fixes a bug.  The warning was actually
useful!

Since that's the case, the *bug* is the important thing (not the
warning), and the subject line should be about the bug fix.  The fact
that it also happens to remove a warning is really just incidental.

You say "the AHB2PCIe window size smaller than HW MMIO window size
issue" as though it should be familiar to us.  But it's not :)

So the changelog needs to start by explaining what the AHB2PCIe window
size issue is, mention what user-visible problem that causes, then
explain how you're fixing it by using resource_size().

Then you can mention that this also incidentally removes a coccinelle
warning.

Nit: I think it's more typical to put the "|" on the first line.
