it seems kernel update BAR1 from 0xfed00000 to 0x80000000 after it can
not give 0xfed00000 to that device.

please try attached patch, and send out lspci -vvxxxx again.

[PATCH] x86: protect hpet in BAR for one ATI chipset

so avoid kernel don't allocate nre resource for it because it can not allocate the old
address from BIOS.

the same way like some IO APIC address in BAR handling
