On architectures such as ppc64, there is no root bus device (it belongs
to the hypervisor). DRM attempted to get one, causing a null-pointer
dereference.
In addition to ppc64, at least ia64 and parisc have the same situation
of the PCI host bridge not appearing as a PCI device itself.

So for DRM devices on a root bus, the parent is the DRM device itself,
while for DRM devices deeper in the hierarchy, the parent is the
upstream P2P bridge? That doesn't really make sense to me. If the
caller operates on the DRM device in some cases and on the bridge in
other cases, it's going to need to know the difference, so hiding the
difference in this wrapper seems counterproductive.

What tree does this apply to? Upstream doesn't have the "if (root ==
NULL)" check yet. That check looks like the sort of thing you'd need
to avoid the null pointer dereference. So maybe adding that check and
the associated code is enough to fix the problem, even without adding
drm_get_parent_device().
With the code in the tree, it looks like you'd dereference a null
pointer in pci_pcie_cap(root), so I assume that's what you tripped
over.
I'm not really sure that code outside the PCI core should be looking
at capabilities of upstream devices like this. It seems like the sort
of thing where the core might need to provide better interfaces.

Ok Bjorn, thanks for the comments, indeed I had a dirty tree here and
didn't realize it, sorry. Either way I'm then sending the "if (root ==
NULL)" patch as a reply to this. I'm sending it along with another
independent patch (they are NOT a series) that changes
pci_read_config_dword calls to pci_capability_read_dword ones on the drm
driver. There were only a couple of those to start with.
