Hi Thomas,

sorry for bringing up an old topic again...

I tried these settings (a long time ago) and everything seemed to work 
fine. Except, we now have a different problem.
Essentially, this device requires 128MB for a given BAR to provide a 
PCI-to-localbus bridge. (another BAR provides the configuration space to 
configure chip select regions and so on).
Apparently, only the first 64MB of this BAR seem to work correctly with 
the new driver. As soon as you exceed that, reads (always?) return 0.
Other BARs (which are then of course assigned a higher region) seem to 
work just fine, so it looks like a per-BAR limitation.

This was not a problem with a 3.0 kernel. Do you have any idea what 
could be wrong here?
I'm currently using a 3.10 kernel, where your patches for the pci-mvebu 
driver were forcibly brought in (without full support for the MBUS 
description at device tree level though).

Thank you very much in advance,

Gerlando

P.S. Here's the relevant portion of the startup log so to give you an 
idea of the layout:
