It would be more convenient if you included the URL,
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12006,
rather than just the bugzilla number.

You probably noticed already, but we reverted the patch I
proposed in 12006 because it was too aggressive, so you may
not need this patch for that reason.

Per 6.2.5.1 in the PCI 3.0 spec, "unimplemented Base Address
registers are hardwired to zero," so it would make sense to me
to follow that, but your patch affects the *write* path, not
the read path, so I don't know how it's related to what
__pci_read_base() will see when it reads the BAR.
