Description

When enabling both Allocate resources from top down enabled by default and fixed recently and Extend resource window for PCIe devices above 4G libgfxinit will break during bootscreen and other PCIe issues like failing wifi drivers may occur.

Tested coreboot-25.03-519-ga2010cf5eeea (a2010cf5eeea6ad4a154cfb13760092f0865af3f) with Dell_Optiplex_5040_sff (i3-6100) and earlier Coreboot 25.03-467-gf0ad05b57ebe with Lenovo x201 with MrChromeBox EDK2 2502.

Can/should these 2 options be used together, if I understand correctly when using a modern efi GOP dGPU together with resizeable-bar all 3 options(+Support PCIe Resizable BARs) need to be enabled?

Only using Allocate resources from top down or Extend resource window for PCIe devices above 4G does not lead up to this issue.
