Aaron, I tested the patch on my affected system and unfortunately it did not work. The BAR1 resource still gets overridden and hence the same effects as before.

Thanks,

Insert HPET resources after pci probing has been completed in order to avoid
resource conflicts with PCI resource reservation. With this change the
HPET firmware resources will be identified, but it should also not cause
issues when the HPET address falls on a BAR in a PCI device, and the PCI
enumeration cannot reserve the resources.

But what advantage does it have when it's already reserved by PCI?

That's only a cosmetic change, isn't it?  A lot of code for cosmetics.
