Correct. 
Sorry, I somehow write above the opposite of what I was thinking.

It's called in some cases, but not for the device I am debugging
(virtio-net pci at 800000020000000). 

For the above device, here is an expanded stack trace:

of_bus_pci_get_flags() (from parser->bus->get_flags()) 
of_pci_range_parser_one() (from macro for_each_of_pci_range)
pci_process_bridge_OF_ranges+0xac/0x2d4
pSeries_discover_phbs+0xc4/0x158
discover_phbs+0x40/0x60
do_one_initcall+0x60/0x2d0
kernel_init_freeable+0x308/0x3a8
kernel_init+0x2c/0x168
ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x70

For other devices, I could also see the following stack trace:
## device ethernet at 8

pci_parse_of_flags()
of_create_pci_dev+0x7f0/0xa40
__of_scan_bus+0x248/0x320
pcibios_scan_phb+0x370/0x3b0
pcibios_init+0x8c/0x12c
do_one_initcall+0x60/0x2d0
kernel_init_freeable+0x308/0x3a8
kernel_init+0x2c/0x168
ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x70

Devices that get parsed with of_bus_pci_get_flags() appears first at
dmesg (around 0.015s in my test), while devices that get parsed by
pci_parse_of_flags() appears later (0.025s in my test).

I am not really used to this code, but having the term "discover phbs"
in the first trace and the term "scan phb" in the second, makes me
wonder if the first trace is seen on devices that are seen/described in
the device-tree and the second trace is seen in devices not present in
the device-tree and found scanning pci bus.

I am not used to these terms, does BAR means 'Base Address Register'?

If so, those are the addresses stored in pci->phb->mem_resources[i] and
pci->phb->mem_offset[i], printed from enable_ddw() (which takes place a
lot after discovering the device (0.17s in my run)).

resource #1 pci at 800000020000000: start=0x200080000000
end=0x2000ffffffff flags=0x200 desc=0x0 offset=0x200000000000
resource #2 pci at 800000020000000: start=0x210000000000
end=0x21ffffffffff flags=0x200 desc=0x0 offset=0x0

The message above was printed without this patch.
With the patch, the flags for memory resource #2 gets ORed with 
0x00100000.

Is it enough to know if BARs are correctly set for 64-bit?
If it's not, how can I check?
