Ah, I misunderstood the problem, I thought the PCI core was complaining
about lack of space in the resources, not about a lack of BARs.

It seems there is code like yours in a couple of architectures, but they
only claim the resources of bridges, not the actual devices as you
seem to be doing. Can you check if the x86 version of
pcibios_allocate_bus_resources() does the trick for you? Maybe we can
turn that into a generic helper.
