It can, but I don't see how that would help, if the problem is that the 
video card doesn't like the low 30 bits of its MMIO address being zero.

Gary, can you check that the MMIO addresses are going to the PCI bus 
as-is, and aren't being translated down to zero?  I.e. POTARn should 
equal POBARn, and likewise in the device tree's pci node's ranges.
