I have been working with Linux PCIe over 3 years. I never used pci=realloc argument.

The v5 series minus [PATCH V5 11/15] drivers: pci: add generic code to claim bus resources
is working just fine and is ready to go upstream in my opinion. It passed my internal
testing with different types of endpoints.

The inclusion of this patch is now requiring everybody to add pci=realloc argument
otherwise the resources assigned by the UEFI BIOS are not working.

I think there is still some work to be done in this patch and is too early to be included
into the series. It is blocking progress of the series which is sitting on review over 1
year already.

I keep saying this but the type of CPU is not important when it comes to PCIe. Both PCIe and
ACPI are governed by specs. If it is working for x86 and i64; it needs to work for ARM64 as
well.

Even ARM64 has the luxury to omit the old BIOS behaviors. Most ARM64 systems use tianocore based
UEFI BIOS.

This is pointing to an implementation problem in arm64 adaptation. Need to figure out
what is different.
