Sorry I missed that.

The reason for not populating the last 3 slots of the resource
array when there is a transparent bridge on the bus is to make
sure devices downstream of the transparent bridge get the resources
they need. Because of the offset of 3 between the transparent
bridge parent and child bus resource arrays established by
if (dev->transparent) {
dev_info(&dev->dev, "transparent bridge\n");
for(i = 3; i < PCI_BUS_NUM_RESOURCES; i++)
child->resource[i] = child->parent->resource[i - 3];
}
in pci_read_bridge_bases() [drivers/pci/probe.c] and refreshed by
similar in adjust_transparent_bridge_resources() [arch/x86/pci/acpi.c]
the transparent bridge child bus resource array will not reference
the resources in those last 3 slots.

In the case of a root bus without a transparent bridge,
this still exists (w/added warning and resource count increment) as
if (info->res_num >= max_root_bus_resources) {
< warn and increment resource count >
return AE_OK;
}
because max_root_bus_resources==PCI_BUS_NUM_RESOURCES

In the case were there is a transparent bridge on the root bus,
'max_root_bus_resources' needs to be 3 less than PCI_BUS_NUM_RESOURCES
to avoid populating the last 3 slots of the array that are not
visible below the transparent bridge.
