Ok, I have a question though. As an example, DT based host controllers
(that pass the parent pointer to pci_create_root_bus()), are already
rooted at the respective host controller platform device sysfs path, so
if user space can't cope with that, that is a problem *now* on some
systems unless I am missing something.
Anyway, thanks for clarifying the companion handling mechanism, we
decidedly have to find a proper way to handle it instead of working
around it.
