This is preceded by:
php_slot = kzalloc(sizeof(*php_slot), GFP_KERNEL);
Ie. php_slot is zeroed.

I believe this introduced a (unlikely) NULL ptr dereference.

This continues:
php_slot->pdev = bus->self;
php_slot->bus = bus;
And SLOT_WARN() is defined as:
#define SLOT_WARN(sl, x...) \
((sl)->pdev ? pci_warn((sl)->pdev, x) :
dev_warn(&(sl)->bus->dev, x))
The else branch is alkays taken in the 'if' above, which still
dereferences NULLed (sl)->bus here.

Here, php_slot used to have both ->pdev and ->bus assigned at this point.

Right?
