Sorry I miss this line.

Firstly I think we'd better print the BAR0 and BAR1 on the probe function of
your device driver because you have to make sure if a8000000-a803ffff is
assigned to BAR0 and 0xa8040000-0xa807ffff for BAR1 as we expect.

u32 value;
pci_read_config_word(pdev, PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_0, &value); printk...
pci_read_config_word(pdev, PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_1, &value); printk....

And you can print this pci_resource_start(pdev, bar), pci_resource_len(pdev,
bar) from the function, __pci_request_region, on the file drivers/pci/pci.c.
Please check this as well.

And currently we have to debug this so on the function, __pci_assign_resource,
from the file drivers/pci/setup-res.c, we can force skipping temporarily
pci_bus_alloc_resource for bus 0001:01 since that will call pci_update_resource
for bus 0001:01.

static int __pci_assign_resource(struct pci_bus *bus, struct pci_dev *dev,
                                 int resno)
{
        struct resource *res = dev->resource + resno;
        resource_size_t size, min, align;
        int ret;

        size = resource_size(res);
        min = (res->flags & IORESOURCE_IO) ? PCIBIOS_MIN_IO : PCIBIOS_MIN_MEM;
        align = pci_resource_alignment(dev, res);
-------
	if (bus->number == 0x01) {
		ret = -ENOMEM
		return ret;
	}
-------

I means we don't want to assign resource as the below line on the log.
------
pci 0001:01:00.0: BAR 8: assigned [mem 0xa8000000-0xa80fffff]

I expect the following output:
------
pci 0001:01:00.0: BAR 8: can't assign mem pref (size 0x100000)
