Yes looking into it. The resource assignment for one of the BARs of the
firewire ohci device at 0a:09.4 has got reassigned a valid address
AFAICT.  I think that device does not like the OS to reassign any resources.

We need to determine whether the ohci device behaves abnormally if it gets
assigned a address other than what is assigned by the BIOS. 

To do that; as Yinghai suggested, lets see the contents of the
register with and without the patch.

output of the following command on a working kernel and a non-working
kernel will shed some light.

lspci -vvxxx -s 0a:09.4

also boot messages on a working kernel will also be helpful.
