I agree, it sounds like an off-by-one error.
Along this line, I had been hoping that if we find any PCI root
bridges via ACPI, we could skip the blind scanning of buses 0-255.
It sounds like skipping the blind scan might break tiger, though.
I assume it has root bridges in ACPI like BigSur does, but evidently
these chipset registers on bus 255 aren't found that way? Having to
do both ACPI and blind scans feels wrong somehow, but I can't point
to a spec to back that up.
