If the resource hasn't been allocated yet, pci_find_parent_resource() is documented as returning the region "where it should be allocated from." This is impossible in general because there may be several candidates: a prefetchable BAR can be put in either a prefetchable or non-prefetchable window, a transparent bridge may have overlapping positively- and subtractively-decoded windows, and a root bus may have several windows of the same type. Allocation should be done by pci_bus_alloc_resource(), which iterates through all bus resources and looks for the best match, e.g., one with the desired prefetchability attributes, and falls back to less-desired possibilities. The only valid use of pci_find_parent_resource() is to find the parent of an already-allocated resource so we can claim it via request_resource(), and all we need for that is a bus region of the correct type that contains the resource. Note that like 8c8def26 ("PCI: allow matching of prefetchable resources to non-prefetchable windows"), this depends on pci_bus_for_each_resource() iterating through positively-decoded regions before subtractively-decoded ones. We prefer not to return a subtractively-decoded region because requesting from it will likely conflict with the overlapping positively- decoded window (see Launchpad report below).
