Great, thank you!  I'll add the patch below to my pci/resource branch for
v4.8.  Let me know if you see any issues with it.

    unicore32/PCI: Remove pci=firmware command line parameter handling
    
    Remove support for the "pci=firmware" command line parameter, which was
    way to keep the kernel from changing any PCI BAR assignments.  This was
    copied from ARM, but is not actually needed on unicore32.
    
    The corresponding ARM support was removed by 903589ca7165 ("ARM: 8554/1:
    kernel: pci: remove pci=firmware command line parameter handling").
