PCI: Allow a NULL "parent" pointer in pci_bus_assign_domain_nr()
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.
7c67470 ("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().
8c7d147 ("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!
