Ditto, it is tricky. When I first looked at that code I thought it was
trying to do something else..

No, you've got it right. The problem I had is completely solved by
PATCH 1/2 PCI: mvebu - The bridge should obey the MEM and IO command
bits

But the code looks odd to me. 

It is certainly correct as written if the check is only ever called
with PCI_COMMAND_IO cleared. 

However, I am having trouble convincing myself of this. Notably
pci_setup_bridge does not seem to make that assumption.

If PCI_COMMAND_IO is set, it can just assume IORESOURCE_IO and skip
the testing of the PCI_IO_BASE register.

Why 0xf0f0 anyhow? :)
