Yes, we will return.
pci_setup_bridge can't setup a root bus, because a root bus does not
have a bridge(bus->self).

I find pci_setup_bridge is not called on a root bus. if
pci_setup_bridge is called on a root bus pci_setup_bridge will access
a NULL pointer. So "bus->self == NULL" is not needed.

I think pci_setup_bridge should return early on a root bus, because
pci_setup_bridge can't setup a root bus. But we don't need to check
whether a bus is a root bus or not as mentioned above.

Yes.
pci_setup_bridge is not called on a root bus, so we can assume ->self
is a valid pointer.
