The allocation of PCI resources is done in the probe() function, and usually an extra xxx_create() function is written for this purpose.

In the case of PCI devices, you have to call at first pci_enable_device() function before allocating resources. Also, you need to set the proper PCI DMA mask to limit the accessed i/o range. In some cases, you might need to call pci_set_master() function, too.

Suppose the 28bit mask, and the code to be added would be like:

  if ((err = pci_enable_device(pci)) < 0)
          return err;
  if (pci_set_dma_mask(pci, DMA_28BIT_MASK) < 0 ||
      pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(pci, DMA_28BIT_MASK) < 0) {
          printk(KERN_ERR "error to set 28bit mask DMA\n");
          pci_disable_device(pci);
          return -ENXIO;
  }
