On some platforms such as that based on x86, ia64 etc, root bus is
created with parent node passed in as NULL to pci_create_root_bus().
On these platforms, the patch series "PCI: get DMA configuration from
parent device" when applied causes kernel crash. So add a check for this
in of_pci_dma_configure()
Wouldn't these arches have OF disabled and call an empty function?
Regardless, we still need this.

I'm assuming Bjorn will apply this.

It might be an idea to read the subject line...
"fix BUG: unable to handle kernel"
Russell,
I will fix the subject as "fix BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer"
and re-send.
Russell's point is the subject applies to every fix for a BUG.
Something like "of/pci: fix of_pci_dma_configure parent ptr NULL
dereference".
Ok. Got it.
Rob
