The next patch removes the arm and arm64 pcibios_enable_device()
implementations, which implies that arm and arm64 only need the generic
version, which simply calls pci_enable_resources().  That assumes r->parent
is set.

After this patch, we'll call pci_bus_claim_resources() for the
PCI_PROBE_ONLY case, and that sets r->parent for all the resources.

Where does r->parent get set in the non-PCI_PROBE_ONLY case?  Obviously
that path *works*, because you're not changing anything there.  I'd just
like to have a hint that makes this change more obvious.
