The pci_find_pcie_root_port() would return NULL if the given
dev is already a Root Port, it looks like unfriendly to the
PCIe Root Port device, Thierry and Bjorn suggest to let this
function return the given dev under this circumstances.

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.

Hi Thierry:

The patch ("PCI: fix oops when try to find Root Port for a PCI device")
has been merge to the linus mainline tree before you found this deficiencies....
