These 2 lines will run together in the (html) output. They could be
made "prettier" (IMO) into a 2-item list if you choose:
* Return:
* * %-ENOTSUPP if resizable BARs are not supported at all
* * %-ENOENT if no ctrl register for the BAR could be found

This is a bit misleading since there is no mask returned but rather the order or in other words which bit of the mask was used.

Thanks for noticing this. I'll removed "bit" x2 from it, does that fully
address your concern?
