Right.  We should warn if the NUMA node number would help us but DT or
the firmware didn't give us one.

But we can do that independently of any cpumask_of_node() changes.
There's no need to do one patch before the other.  Even if you make
cpumask_of_node() tolerate NUMA_NO_NODE, we'll still get the warning
because we're not actually changing any node assignments.

I think this is perfect and I don't see the need for the refinement

Anyway, would the attached patch work for you?  I have it tentatively
queued up on pci/enumeration for v5.5.

    PCI: Warn if no host bridge NUMA node info
    
    In pci_call_probe(), we try to run driver probe functions on the node where
    the device is attached.  If we don't know which node the device is attached
    to, the driver will likely run on the wrong node.  This will still work,
    but performance will not be as good as it could be.
    
    On NUMA systems, warn if we don't know which node a PCI host bridge is
    attached to.  This is likely an indication that ACPI didn't supply a _PXM
    method or the DT didn't supply a "numa-node-id" property.
