Ok, had a further look.

Referring to this thread:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/29/557

By looking at other architectures code, resources should be claimed
(ie requested) even when PCI_PROBE_ONLY is set. Alpha, Sparc and PowerPC
seem to do that, in slightly different fashions.

I do not think, as Bjorn mentioned, that PCI_PROBE_ONLY should be used
to prevent enabling resources through a PCI command, which is what
pci_enable_resources does.

What we can do, is providing a generic PCI layer API that allows claiming
resources for a specific PCI bus, something similar if not identical
to what is done on alpha:

arch/alpha/kernel/pci.c pcibios_claim_one_bus()

that is not alpha specific at all. That way, we can use the API to claim
bus resources instead of assigning them on PCI_PROBE_ONLY (I *think*
that alpha calls pci_assign_unassigned_resources() even if
PCI_PROBE_ONLY is set, it should be safe since resources are claimed
first so IIUC the PCI layer would revert to FW BAR configuration on
assignment failure).

Bjorn, any opinion on this ? Putting together a patch is easy when
we agree on the solution.
