Since all of your devices are on the same HT chain in your devicetree.cb, a
resourcemap should be pretty easy to do.

DRAM - All 0, but make sure to include the correct node numbers.
MMIO - All (0xc0000000-0xffffffff) down link 2 of node 0.
PCI-IO - All (0x0000-0xffff) on link 2 of node 0 
PCI Bus numbers - All on link 2 of node 0

In your case you can get most of it from Linux, just enable the whole
ranges, and don't touch the DRAM registers unless you know how they interact
with CAR.

I think the process should be:
1. Look at the register values from Linux
2. Set up the registers so that there is some MMIO, PCI I/O, bus resources
for each link you want to touch before device enumeration (anything named
early, especially).
  For ck804_early...  It assumes that you allocate PCI I/O resources to each
link in 16K blocks.  Again, since you only have one non-coherent HT link,
allocating the whole range there should work fine.

Have you done showallroutes() before and after setting up your resource map?
It will make it obvious why you need it on cold boot, and it could help you
figure out what's missing.  Try it on a working board and one that doesn't.
I'd like to see the differences.

It would also help to know what address range is failing on inb and outb.
That would tell you which register you need to play with.

Thanks,
