MPC5200 PCI resource allocation problem

[robinpv]

Hi,
I am using the MPC5200 based board. I have a PCI 2250 bridge, with 2 
RTL8110S ethernet chips on the bridge.
I am using the lite5200 as reference code.
When i run the linux(2.6.16.1), during bootup the following messages are 
displayed,

PCI: Probing PCI hardware
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of PCI bridge 1
PCI: bridge 1 resource 0 moved to b0fff000..b0ffffff
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 1 of PCI bridge 1
PCI: bridge 1 resource 1 moved to aff00000..afffffff
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 2 of PCI bridge 1
PCI: bridge 1 resource 2 moved to 9ff00000..9fffffff

Looking at the iomem and ioports dump, shows that MMIO region has been 
allocated.
But in the ethernet driver when i try to access the ethernet registers. 
all the register content are shown as FFFF.
Also in the mpc52xx_pci.h, the default value for these macros are...
#define MPC52xx_PCI_IO_BASE       0xb0000000
#define MPC52xx_PCI_IO_START    0x00000000
For this setting, IO resource allocation fails
changing to
#define MPC52xx_PCI_IO_START    0xB0000000
passes through.

Can some suggest what could be the problem and how to go about.??
