PCI: Allow a NULL "parent" pointer in pci_bus_assign_domain_nr()
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1558330 commit 54c6e2dd upstream. pci_create_root_bus() passes a "parent" pointer to pci_bus_assign_domain_nr(). When CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC is defined, pci_bus_assign_domain_nr() dereferences that pointer. Many callers of pci_create_root_bus() supply a NULL "parent" pointer, which leads to a NULL pointer dereference error. 7c674700 ("PCI: Move domain assignment from arm64 to generic code") moved the "parent" dereference from arm64 to generic code. Only arm64 used that code (because only arm64 defined CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC), and it always supplied a valid "parent" pointer. Other arches supplied NULL "parent" pointers but didn't defined CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC, so they used a no-op version of pci_bus_assign_domain_nr(). 8c7d1474 ("ARM/PCI: Move to generic PCI domains") defined CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC on ARM, and many ARM platforms use pci_common_init(), which supplies a NULL "parent" pointer. These platforms (cns3xxx, dove, footbridge, iop13xx, etc.) crash with a NULL pointer dereference like this while probing PCI: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000a4 PC is at pci_bus_assign_domain_nr+0x10/0x84 LR is at pci_create_root_bus+0x48/0x2e4 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
