I think this should actually be this change on top of a revert of commit
0e405232871d6 ("PCI: fix oops when try to find Root Port for a PCI
device"). After the above change, the previous fix will have a redundant
check because highest_pcie_bridge will never be NULL.

Let me send out that version to clarify what I mean.
