Two argument version of pci_bus_for_each_resource() is quite new (so 
either 6.6 or 6.7). If want to attempt to compile in 5.15.x, you need 
this:

include/linux/limits.h:#define RESOURCE_SIZE_MAX        ((resource_size_t)~0)

And to add one extra argument into pci_bus_for_each_resource(bus, r) in 
pbus_upstream_assigned_limit():

	...
	while ((bus = bus->parent)) {
+		unsigned int i;
		if (pci_is_root_bus(bus))
			break;

-		pci_bus_for_each_resource(bus, r) {
+		pci_bus_for_each_resource(bus, r, i) {

Note I've written this "patch" by hand inline so patch command cannot 
apply it but you need to edit those in.
