Yeah, that's just for root buses where we don't have the host bridge
knowledge to figure it out. The root bus case was broken in
drm_pcie_get_speed_cap_mask() anyway, because there is no upstream P2P
bridge to look at. (That's why Lucas tripped over the null pointer
dereference in the first place.)
