PCI-PCI bridge scanning broken on 460EX

Hi,

I'm running linux-2.6.33-rc2 on Canyonlands board. When PLX 6254 
transparent PCI-PCI
bridge is plugged into PCI slot the kernel simply resets the board 
without printing anything
to console. Without PLX bridge kernel boots fine.

I've tracked down the problem to the following code in pci_scan_bridge() 
in drivers/pci/probe.c:

if (pcibios_assign_all_busses() || broken)
                /* Temporarily disable forwarding of the
                   configuration cycles on all bridges in
                   this bus segment to avoid possible
                   conflicts in the second pass between two
                   bridges programmed with overlapping
                   bus ranges. */
                pci_write_config_dword(dev, PCI_PRIMARY_BUS,
                               buses & ~0xffffff);

If test for broken is removed, kernel boots fine, detects the bridge, but
does not detect the device behind the bridge. The same device plugged
directly into PCI slot is detected correctly.

To remind you, tests for broken were added by commit 
a1c19894b786f10c76ac40e93c6b5d70c9b946d2,
and were intended to solve device detection problem behind PCI-E 
switches, as discussed in this thread:
http://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2008-October/063939.html

I'd appreciate any help in resolving this issue. Below is dmesg output 
with DEBUG enabled
and problematic test for broken removed.
