Conceptually, I'm not sure why we need IORESOURCE_MEM_64 at all on
resources we get from DT.  I think the main point of IORESOURCE_MEM_64
is to convey the information that "this register, e.g., a PCI BAR, has
space for 64-bit values if you need to write to it."

When we're parsing this from DT, I think we're just getting a fixed
value and there's no concept of writing anything back, so it doesn't
seem like we should need to know how wide the hardware register is, or
even whether there *is* a hardware register.

But I'm sure the PCI resource allocation code probably depends on
IORESOURCE_MEM_64 in those host bridge windows in very ugly ways.

Maybe "Clearing 64-bit flag"?

Can you include %pR, so we see the resource in question?

Unrelated but close by, would be nice if the preceding warning ("size
exceeds max") also included %pR.
