Could it have been tool chain specific?  We are running

arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc (GCC) 4.9.0
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.24

Also, note that I merged your tree with Linus' tree up to today (commit
3cfb2f7976a2 "Merge tag 'pci-v4.0-fixes-3' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci").
