Re: [PATCH v7 0/3] Add support for PCI in AArch64

Hi Liviu,

Sorry for the trouble.
I got why 'res->parent' is not set in my case.
Basically my SR-IOV device has fixed resources, so resources will not
be allocated/assigned and hence parent resource is not set.
I will move the resource claiming to host controller driver as a fixup
so that parent resource hierarchy is set.

Thanks for the support.

Regards,
Sunil.
