Do you get this message in a verbose dmesg with the stock UEFI?

No, I get only messages about allocating window.

Are you able to capture a full verbose dmesg via a serial console or the like
that would really help as it may be that we are seeing a resource conflict
with the way Coreboot sets up the PCI bridge windows and then disabling
an I/O window that happens to break something. A verbose dmesg from the
stock UEFI would also be useful, though it is less important.
