I believe this is just an message problem.

It looks like resource allocation code doesn't work for your
end device...

Could you send the following information

  - whole dmesg output after hot-plugging the device (with pciehp_debug=1)
  - lspci -vvvxxx output after boot with and without your device (no
    hotplug operation required)

Thanks,
