Beginning of thread: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220612144325.85366-1-hdegoede@redhat.com

Steam Deck broke because we erroneously trimmed out the PCI host
bridge window where BIOS had placed most devices, successfully
reassigned all the PCI bridge windows and BARs, but some devices,
apparently including NVMe, didn't work at the new addresses.

Do you NVMe folks know of gotchas in this area?  I want to know
because we'd like to be able to move devices around someday to make
room for hot-added devices.

This reassignment happened before drivers claimed the devices, so from
a PCI point of view, I don't know why the NVMe device wouldn't work at
the new address.
