pci memory resources not being assigned to bridge

Hi,

I'm in the process of updating our products from a 4.4 based kernel to 
5.1 (and probably 5.2 since that release is imminent).

On one product which uses a Freescale/NXP P2041 CPU, IDT pcie bridge and 
Marvell switch chip[1].

Annoyingly the hardware has a reset line that holds the switch chip in 
reset but the bridge chip has a separate reset line that is not held 
high by default. So when the system starts up the initial scan sees the 
bridge and assigns resource to its end points. Later once the switch 
chip reset is released (either via a gpio-hog or manually) and the bus 
rescanned the switch devices are detected but the host side of the pci 
bridge isn't assigned any memory space so pci accesses trigger a master 
abort which on that SoC leads to a machine check exception.

If I remove the bridge, release the switch reset then rescan the pci bus 
the memory space is assigned and things appear to work.

Previously (under 4.4.x) we were able to get the memory space assigned 
by triggering a rescan (i.e. the first case above) but I've always seen 
the code that did that as a bit of a hack.

Why would the rescan in the second case assign memory that wasn't 
assigned by the first case? Is there any way I can avoid the removal 
dance, ideally by assigning reset gpios in the device tree?

Thanks,
Chris
