[U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] Avoid assigning PCI resources from zero address

If a PCI IDE card happens to get a zero address assigned to it, the Linux IDE
core complains and IDE drivers fails to work.  Also, assigning zero to a BAR
was illegal according to PCI 2.1 (the later revisions seem to have excluded the
sentence about "0" being considered an invalid address) -- so, use a reasonable
starting value of 0x1000 (that's what the most Linux archs are using).

Alternatively, one might have fixed the calls to pci_set_region() individually
(some code even seems to have taken care of this issue) but that would have
been a lot more work. :-)
