I traced a little further and implemented a cs5536_set_resources() which
simply wraps the call to pci_set_resources(). GPIO registers are
accessed ok before pci_set_resources() but fail after.

This is the output of print_resource_tree() of the device used:

(CB)  PCI: 00:0f.0 links 0 child on link 0 NULL
(CB)  PCI: 00:0f.0 resource base 0 size 1000 align 0 gran 0 limit 0 flags e0000100 index 0
(CB)  PCI: 00:0f.0 resource base 20b0 size 8 align 3 gran 3 limit ffff flags 40000100 index 10
(CB)  PCI: 00:0f.0 resource base 1800 size 100 align 8 gran 8 limit ffff flags 40000100 index 14
(CB)  PCI: 00:0f.0 resource base 2000 size 40 align 6 gran 6 limit ffff flags 40000100 index 18
(CB)  PCI: 00:0f.0 resource base 2080 size 20 align 5 gran 5 limit ffff flags 40000100 index 1c
(CB)  PCI: 00:0f.0 resource base 1c00 size 80 align 7 gran 7 limit ffff flags 40000100 index 20
(CB)  PCI: 00:0f.0 resource base 2040 size 40 align 6 gran 6 limit ffff flags 40000100 index 24


Any ideas?

Daniel
