PCI problem on MPC8250 target

I am trying to debug a problem I have with a custom MPC8250 target
board. This board uses the 8250 host-pci bridge. Off the pci bus
there is a three-port pci-pci bridge. Hanging off one port of this
bridge are a number of DSP chips.

I am using kernel 2.6.8.1. I had been debugging this on 2.4.24 from
ELDK, but 2.6 appears to have resolved some of the problems I
had identified.

The pci bios appears to see both functions of the bridge and three
devices on bus 1.  The problem is in allocating resources for the
devices. I hope that someone here can save me some time and indicate
where I should be looking for the problem.

The hardware is first prototype and therefore no guarantees as to
how it is behaving.
A possible issue is that the bios only sees three out of four
DSPs. The first DSP (device number zero) is not seen. I have
been ignoring this problem for the moment, assuming that this is
some simple issue like device zero being special. We can easily
change the hardware to move this device number if that is the case.
