Yes unfortunately pci_ecam_create() is not flexible on the conflict as
pci_request_regions():
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/kernel/resource.c#L1155
if the conflict resource is not busy pci_request_regions() will create
a child resource under the conflict sibling and mark it as busy...
or at least this is my understanding...

I think that for PCIe device drivers it works ok because it is guaranteed
that their own pci_request_regions() is called always after
pci_claim_resource() of the bridge that is on top of them...
I.e. pci_claim_resource() reserves the resources as not busy and
pci_request_regions() will create a child busy resource

Maybe the patch below could be a sort of solution...effectively pci_ecam
should succeed in reserving a busy resource under the conflict resource
in case of PNP driver allocating a non BUSY resource first...
