Yes, I think it should be initialized when added the pci bus bridge,
I have checked the mach-kirkwood(my board is arch/arm/mach-kirkwood)
pcie related code, and I think when system initialized should call
kirkwood_pcie_init() ->
kirkwood_pcie_scan_bus() ->
pci_scan_bus() ->
pci_bus_add_devices()
if the pci_bus->self was initialized in pci_bus_add_devices()?
Maybe the code is too complex for me , I really can not find where
set the “->self" member?
