During the process of obtaining the speed cap for the device, it
attempts go get the PCI Host bus. However on architectures such as PPC
or IA64, those do not appear as devices.

You didn't address my question about this.  Obviously this will avoid
a null pointer dereference.  But you have to also explain why this
change is correct.

If it's good enough to just look at the capabilities of the DRM device
(not the upstream bridge) on PPC and ia64, why not do that everywhere
and forget about the bridge completely?

Yeah this doesn't make sense, we need to know if the device and the
bridge are capable of doing PCIE gen2+ speeds.

At least I'm willing to accept spec pointers to why we might not need
to ask the bridge, but my current understanding is we need to know
both.

Dave.
