Yes.  I'm frequently guilty of skipping steps.

Setting up VGA for PCI: 07:00.0
Setting PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA for bridge PCI: 03:04.0
Setting PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA for bridge PCI: 02:00.0
Setting PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA for bridge PCI: 00:03.0
Setting PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA for bridge PCI_DOMAIN: 0000
Setting PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA for bridge Root Device
Allocating resources...

For me the steps would be:
1. Make sure that the device that needs the config writes is in the above
list.

2. Add code like this:
     if (dev->link[link].bridge_ctrl & PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA) {
          /* Add your code from auto.c here */
     }
to the .init function of the bridge.

For example, assuming that the i3100 PCIe port needs the configuration, I
would add the code in:

src/northbridge/intel/i3100/pciexp_porta.c

In the existing pcie_init function.

Thanks,
Myles
