That ranges property says that host address 0xc0000000 maps to PCI 
address 0xc0000000, so Linux will program the BAR to 0xc0000000, but the 
actual accesses will go elsewhere because POTAR0 is zero.

Setting POTAR to zero is also a bad idea because it's aliasing your DMA 
window (it may work in certain situations based on who's initiating the 
transaction, but it seems like it's asking for trouble), plus it seems 
some cards just don't like address zero.

Try setting POTAR0 to 0x000c0000 and see what happens.
