My concern is only theoretical -- I could imagine a PNP0A03 device
in the namespace (so acpi_is_root_bridge() is true) that has not been
claimed by the pci_root driver (so acpi_pci_find_root() returns NULL).

I don't think this will happen in practice because pci_root can't be
a module, but it's easier to analyze with just one check, since you
can learn everything you need from acpi_pci_find_root() without also
depending on acpi_is_root_bridge().
