Hi Lorenzo,

Sorry for late reply.

So, I have tested the patch on ARM64 system w/ PROBE_ONLY mode, and 
noticed that we are calling pci_read_bridge_bases() after adding the 
devices on the slots. This is not soon enough since the downstream 
devices still failing to claim resources.

However, do you think we can move pci_read_bridge_bases() before the 
pci_scan_slot() loop?

Thanks,
