I think you got the logic the wrong way around:
+ /* have we been registered already? */ + if (pci_res->parent) + continue;
This ignores resources that are _registered_, but it should be the other way around - we should ignore resources that aren't (because they may be invalid or they may move around)
+ pci_start = pci_res->start; + pci_end = pci_res->end; + + if (pci_end < pci_start || !pci_end) + continue;
Hmm. This should be unnecessary with any registered resource, since the resource code wouldn't allow registering such a resource in the first place.
Of course, it may be that the PnP code runs too early, and we have only parsed the PCI resources, not inserted them into the resource tree yet. If so, none of this will work, of course.
