I have some custom hardware that appears on the PCI bus as follows:

bash-3.00# lspci -vv
00:01.0 Class 0680: 1172:0004 (rev 01)
	Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr-
Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
	Status: Cap- 66Mhz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort+
<TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
	Latency: 128, Cache Line Size 08
	Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 71
	Region 0: Memory at 000000009ffff000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
[size=4K]
	Region 1: Memory at 000000009fc00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
[size=2M]

But when I try to access resource0 or resource1, I get a read error.
What characteristic of the device or driver determines whether it will
allow mmap-ing?

(I've written the driver for this device myself.)
