Ok, please see my comment on patch [06/10]. In short:

when a PCI device is *added* we call init_bars and at that time BARs

are not assigned on ARM yet. But, if we move init_bars to the point

when a device *assigned* then it will work? And this code will go away

Yes, if we move to device assign then it won't be needed: have to check that
