BCMA support has been added to brcmsmac so now we depend on it. As BCMA
claims the PCI device we had the BCMA=n in place before. I agree that it
makes bisecting a pain in the...

Looking at the output I had deja-vu feeling. The issue popped up when we
published part of the patches for BCMA support. I looked into it with
Larry Finger and Rafał Miłecki. We found the reason for the failure, but
it seemed resolved after submitting the remaining patches for BCMA
support. However, it seems to have raised its ugly head.

My theory is that the BAR window is not mapped to a valid address. Could
you try to revert the following commit:

commit 439678f8b0fca7aeca06c6581e3679eef618721a
Author: Rafał Miłecki <zajec5@gmail.com>

    bcma: pci: use fixed windows when possible

    Some cores are mapped in the fixed way, they registers can be accessed
    all the time.

I have attached the 'revert patch' based on your git master branch.
