This is a temporary workaround for following problem.
   
On Celleb, values of PCI base addresses of PCI devices which are not
described in device tree are not initialized before linux starts. So
we use pci_bus_assign_resources() later to assign resources for them 
at ppc_md.pcibios_fixup(). But by original code, when
ppc_md.pcibios_fixup() is called, resources are already claimed and
pci_bus_assign_resource() does not work to assign resources.

It may not be a good idea to call pci_bus_assign_resources() at the
timing of ppc_md.pcibios_fixup(), but we did not find an alternative
idea.
