Your are correct about the abbreviations. 

Is there a specific libgfxinit debug log option, since the debug options in "make menuconfig" didn't reveal any libgfxinit related output in the log.

Could you hint which conf/makefile I should edit to force it during the next build, or is there something like cbmemtool after boot to dig into libgfxinit issues during boot/post?

Bug #596: Allocate resources from top down AND extend PCIe resource window above 4G together breaks libgfxinit bootscreen
https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/596#change-2111

* Author: Walter Sonius
* Status: New
* Priority: Normal
* Target version: none
* Start date: 2025-05-19
* Affected versions: 25.03
----------------------------------------

When enabling both `Allocate resources from top down` [enabled by default and fixed recently](https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/87504) and `Extend resource window for PCIe devices above 4G` libgfxinit will break during bootscreen and other PCIe issues like failing wifi drivers may occur.

Tested coreboot-25.03-519-ga2010cf5eeea (a2010cf5eeea6ad4a154cfb13760092f0865af3f) with Dell_Optiplex_5040_sff (i3-6100) and earlier Coreboot 25.03-467-gf0ad05b57ebe with Lenovo [x201](https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/548#note-10) with MrChromeBox EDK2 2502.

Can/should these 2 options be used together, if I understand correctly when using a modern efi GOP dGPU together with resizeable-bar all 3 options(+Support PCIe Resizable BARs) need to be enabled?

Only using `Allocate resources from top down` or `Extend resource window for PCIe devices above 4G` does not lead up to this issue.
