Thanks Lorenzo.
I will try to get x86 configuration details soon and post, as the setup is at 
different location.
On ARM we using pcie-xilinx-nwl.c configurations where we have where we have 
240MB BAR space
as per device tree documentation. (The kernel log I posted for testing purpose 
is using different address spaces,
if tests were successful, we will soon send patches for device tree)

Similar test case means, on x86 where we have multifunction device, where 1st 
function requests 1GB memory BAR's
and 2nd function requests 16byte memory BAR's, for 1st function BAR's are not 
assigned, but for 2nd function 16byte BAR assignment
is successful.

But on ARM similar test case fails to assign BAR's for both first function and 
second function.

What is the reason on ARM we are handling resource assignment in hierarchy 
format?
Because on ARM, in the above case due to lack of resources first function BAR 
assignment fails  which is fine but
even though we have enough resources for 16byte BAR allocations for second 
function, we are not assigning.
