I guess the following code in setup-bus.c skips your device
whose class code is undefined.

static void __dev_sort_resources(struct pci_dev *dev,
struct resource_list *head)
{
u16 class = dev->class >> 8;

/* Don't touch classless devices or host bridges or ioapics. */
if (class == PCI_CLASS_NOT_DEFINED || class == PCI_CLASS_BRIDGE_HOST)
return;

Can you try with the above two lines commented out?
