Your system host bridge: has resource
pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0xe0100000-0xefffffff]
pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0x600000000-0x7ffffffff pref]
then one pci bridge:
pci 0000:00:00.0
then 0000:01:00.0 have four bars:
pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 0: [mem size 0x40000000]
pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 4: [mem size 0x00100000 64bit]
pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 2: [mem size 0x00000010]
pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 3: [mem size 0x00000010]

kernel need to get allocation for pci 0000:00:00.0 at first

but can not find big enough space.

pci 0000:00:00.0: BAR 8: no space for [mem size 0x60000000]
as it should come from [mem 0xe0100000-0xefffffff], and that is
less 1.5G.

so all children resource from pci 0000:01:00.0 all fail.

please check if you modify your FPGA code to make pci 0000:01:00.0

BAR 0, and BAR 4 to use 64bit pref instead non-pref mmio.

or you can check if can increase root bus mmio range

MEM 0xe0100000..0xefffffff -> 0xe0100000
nwl-pcie fd0e0000.pcie: PCI host bridge to bus 0000:00

to have more than 1.5G.
