Hi Thomas,

first of all thank you for your invaluable help!

That's correct.

Here it goes:

[00] disabled
[01] disabled
[02] disabled
[03] disabled
[04] 00000000ff000000 - 00000000ff010000 : nand
[05] 00000000f4000000 - 00000000f8000000 : vpcie
[06] 00000000fe000000 - 00000000fe010000 : dragonite
[07] 00000000e0000000 - 00000000ec000000 : pcie0.0

So there's something wrong: a 256MB window should go all the way up to 
0xf0000000, and we have 192MB instead and I don't know how that would be 
interpreted.
I couldn't figure out where this range comes from though, as in the 
device tree I now have a size of 256MB (I stupidly set it to 192MB at 
some point, but I now changed it):

# hexdump -C /proc/device-tree/ocp at f1000000/pcie-controller/ranges
  | cut -c1-58
00000000  82 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 04 00 00 00 04 00 00
00000010  00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00  82 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00000020  e0 00 00 00 e0 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 10 00 00 00
                                                ^^^^^^^^^^^
00000030  81 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 f0 00 00 00
00000040  00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00
00000048

But apart from that, what I still don't understand is how that could 
have anything to do with my problem. The memory area I'm not able to 
access starts at 0xe4000000.
BAR0, on the other hand, spawns 0xe8802000-0xe8802fff and seems to work 
fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!
